Sorry if this has already been answered in another thread, but I just want to make sure I know what to expect about hearing about my decision. The email I received today to confirm Richmond received my app said I would have a decision by April 1. I submitted on November 30. When you think I will realistically hear back? And how does the timeline change with consideration for Richmond Scholars. I’ve heard that you are only notified if you are a semi-finalist, but when does that notification usually come? Could I potentially receive a decision before hearing that I am being considered for one of the scholarships? Sorry for all the questions. Just want to make sure I’m clear on what’s happening. Thanks!
