<p>I am from New Jersey and received my waitlist letter today. I accepted my spot on the list as soon as I got the letter and am intending on writing a letter to admission reinforcing my love for UR. I was just wondering if anyone could offer advice on what to do for my best chance of getting accepted off of the waitlist. Congrats to all those accepted and good luck to everyone in the same boat as me!</p>
<p>Wait listed as well :/</p>
<p>I guess the best thing we can do is continue to show interest in the school. We can submit our 3rd Quarter grades. Additionally, I don’t know if richmond allows this, but some schools allow wait listed students to send in another recommendation or essay- but you’d have to check with richmond on that. </p>
<p>last year, richmond’s acceptance was like this:</p>
<p>Total applicants: 8,661
Total acceptances : 2,857
Waitlist placed: 1,776
Waitlist accepted : 710
Students Enrolled : 66</p>
<p>redscarlett11 I started my letter as soon as I posted this! I checked the waitlist brochure that came with the letter and it said that additional letters of rec will not be considered (just don’t want you going out I your way if it won’t be considered). I am hoping that with a convincing letter we will be accepted. Good luck!</p>
<p>I found this information on Richmond’w website:</p>
<p>3577 applicants were offered a wait list position
1192 accepted the wait list
Number of students admitted off the wait list 83</p>

<p>Just a hunch, nothing but my gut, but I believe that UR may use the WL more than normal this year. Again, this is just my gut telling me.</p>
<p>If UR is the place you want to be, take a spot on the WL, reinforce your desire to attend and hope for the best.</p>
<p>If it doesn’t work out, be sure to embrace you final destination as much as possible. UR was NOT my top choice coming out of HS, but I couldn’t have ended up in a better situation. It all works out for the best.</p>
<p>Spiders05 I really hope your hunch is right! I reviewed my letter with my counselor today and I am ready to send it! Do you know about when they usually send out acceptance or denial of waitlisted students?</p>

How does one submit their third quarter grades? UR has been my dream school and I am sad about being wait listed.
Also, is it worth submitting my new grades? They are almost the same, except for a weird trade off. My probability and statistics class (regular) grade has dropped to a B+ (senior spring whoops) and my AP US Government class has raised to an A. Is it worth sending these grades if technically one went down? Or is it worth it because an AP class went up?
Send an email with any updates to your regional admissions officer. Maintaining grades isn’t a bad thing since senioritis gets the most of some students. Good Luck.
