University of Richmond Transfer Fall 2017 Thread

aww no @rvalover7 that’s very unfortunate, I really hope you get off the waitlist!!

up in canada no mail yet!

Yay, just got my acceptance letter today! I’m in Arlington, Virginia!
Incredibly excited as this was my number one choice. Spiders!!!

@shuan1011 I’ll definitely call and at least see. If not I’m considering UVA at this point.

@rvalover7 UVA is a wonderful school, too! Sounds like you have great choices!

@cloudysmom I didn’t apply there, was a bit late for me too. They do have a guaranteed agreement though with all Virginia CCs :slight_smile:

Anyone know when financial aid awards will be mailed?

@rvalover7 I agree with cloudysmom. Call Nadine Saint and ask her what she might recommend you do at this point to improve your chances. Your passion alone should have gotten you accepted, in addition to your grades and commitment to UR. I wish you all the best and hope to see you at UR!

@OrindaGirl thank you so much! I appreciate it. I will update you guys on my quest once again lol!

ACCEPTED!! didn’t get anything in the mail yet but through an email :slight_smile:

Oh wow they notified you via email? Thats awesome! @shuan1011

thank you @rvalover7 I’m really rooting for you!!! I really really hope it all works out. I haven’t even met you but I clearly saw your passion for richmond on here so hopefully it all works out!!

@shuan1011 Thank you so much I appreciate it!! I totally forgot you’re from Canada. (I think??) I remember you saying you were transferring from a Canadian school. I hope it does too, staying positive for now. A lot can happen in a few weeks.

Does anyone know if financial aid for transfer students is supposed to come with the acceptance letter, or does it come later in the mail?

^^

@pineapple33 it comes later!

Got a letter in the mail about a week ago saying if we got any financial aid it would have been included with my acceptance. I’ll be paying full price, so it looks like a hard acceptance for me. I can’t take out this high amount of loans plus loans later for law school.

If anyone has any advice please let me know.

@marvin11 Oh no really? I wonder if you can appeal it, if you do think you should have got some aid? :frowning:

I still haven’t even got my package in the mail yet, although I did get an acceptance letter through email! Hoping it comes soon…

@marvin11 I think they reevaluate on a case by case basis. I had a friend who appealed her FA and got more money so its worth a shot! However she was an incoming freshmen. Not sure how it works for transfers.

Well, I have been accepted! Feels great. Hope to see some of you Saturday!

OH MY GOSH YAYYY!!! That is awesome news! Congratulations!! :slight_smile: @rvalover7
