[blazing gust]

Richmond**

I haven't gotten it😭😭😭😭

[hasty aspen]

rip i havent gotten it

sad

ok

lets look at the bright side

maybe

maybe

hes being deferred

so they

sent a richmond scholars invitation

and we're being accepted so they'll send that with our accepted letter

[blazing gust]

Ohhh
That's true

[hasty aspen]

😍

[hallow sail]

lets wait until feb 1

[blazing gust]

They can defer someone and just send them the Richmond Scholars notification not an acceptance letter

[lusty pike]

if i get in 💀

the portal is dead rn

😐

tomorrow night is gonna wreck me

my internet is shitting itself mb guys

[hasty aspen]

exactly

coz itd be weird to be like on the defer letter "hey we're deferring you but sike youre finalist for our scholars program"

[tidal trail]

Ok so no acceptances jsut invitation to Richmond Scholars Program Ahh make sense

[hasty aspen]

[tidal trail]

Just chill out rn @lusty pike trust me you are getting in with all that hard work you have put in that hell of an app

[lusty pike]

😭

[obtuse hull]

Can sb explain to be about the css waiver? Like do we request it and they give us or they just voluntarily give it to us

[lusty pike]

idk dude i feel bad again like i did before hearing back from UVA when they waitlisted me

[lusty pike]

either tbh

[obtuse hull]

Really???

[tidal trail]

They just give it and it'd an indication they really want you so yeah but again we have acceptances without Cas profile wavier too

[obtuse hull]

Ohhh ok

[lusty pike]

yeah if they see you as highly competitive like in zee's case, they'll give it to you, but you can also request it

we practicing self care rn bc anxiety made me get sick 😔

[obtuse hull]

Like even if I had paid the CSS fee would they still give me afterwards

[tidal trail]

Yeahh

[obtuse hull]

Lol

[lusty pike]

idek how i got the fee waiver 💀

[hasty aspen]

no lol

youve alr paid so you dont need a css waiver then

you cant get the money back once youve paid

[obtuse hull]

Oh ok

[blazing gust]

I am dead😭😭😭

im gonna throw up

[ripe charm]

[lusty pike]

tell me why only SEVEN people got off of the waitlist at UVA last year!!!

im cooked

[ripe charm]

[blazing gust]

Who else is feeling so nervous
I didn't get the Richmond Scholars invites😭😭😭

[tidal trail]

the portal looks fine too

anyways it can't even tell anything so lol

[blazing gust]

Actually
We can't tell anything yet

Some people got that removed from their portal and didn't get the scholars notification
While some people did get it

I got the CSS fee waiver so I was thinking at least I should get it even if I might be deffered

Who else also thought it is weird that the invite came before the decisions to some people
I thought it was supposed to come after the notification

Or at the same time

[glass mesa]

?

they sent out RIchmond Scholars notifs?

[blazing gust]

Yep
A friend received it

But I haven't seen any other person receive it

[obtuse hull]

I think if sb got the invite they prob are accepted

[blazing gust]

Ohh

If someone doesn't get it
It doesn't denote rejection tho

[obtuse hull]

Yeah but like if sb got it its 100%

[blazing gust]

You know some people are deferred and then offered the Richmond Scholars Invite??

Richmond does it

[tidal trail]

Yeah they even accept some students on the basis they get the Richmond Scholars (again something tulane does too for their scholarships)

U Miami at times too with their stamps and other full scholarships

[obtuse hull]

wait really?? so nothing can be surely indicated from those invite emails lol

[shrewd delta]

i’m so hype

we got this!

[blazing gust]

Yeah
Someone got the CSS fee waiver last year .they deferred him and then accepted him as a Richmond Scholar

[stable ocean]

[blazing gust]

Don't they give merch as part of acceptance packages

[limber rover]

accepted w scholars finalist 😳😳

[limber rover]

im nervous apparently it's like a whole panel instead of a single person

ngl if I get this full ride I'm like 95% sure I'll commit

full ride would be a dream

[limber rover]

oo just found out they offer 40-45 scholars

out of the 80

so based off pure chance I have a 50-56% chance 😳

[ripe charm]

Will Richmond extend FAFSA deadlines?

[lusty pike]

hi

[lusty pike]

how do they tell you this

[opal quest]

[limber rover]

[lusty pike]

[lusty pike]

urichmond area goated

Lots of rich peolpe nearby 🧐

ccv

[lusty pike]

i'm not even going to apply there i just live <10 minutes away so like to see what people think

[limber rover]

u rich mond 🤔🤔

[hallow sail]

I haven't received the fee waiver from css profile yet, should I start freaking out? I applied in ed2, so I still have 11 days to receive it, but I'm getting really nervous (intl std)

[lusty pike]

the css profile is to set up financial aid, so for now, i wouldn't worry about it since all offers of aid got pushed back

BUT, i would continue to contact richmond and ask about updates and such

[harsh rover]

i mailed them around the end of january and they said this

[blazing gust]

Receiving the CSS profile isn't a sign of admission per se
Got it EA and was still deferred to RD
Don't fret

[harsh rover]

thanks

[tidal trail]

I didn't get it but still got deferred so it doesn't really tell anything

[blazing gust]

Yeah

[cursive basalt]

when do yall think that the financial aid letter will come out?

[lusty pike]

mid april

probably

[limber rover]

on css it says feb 15

soooo hoping for that

🤞🤞

[lusty pike]

idk fam 🥲

[lusty pike]

[harsh rover]

[lusty pike]

:(((

[lusty pike]

how

[lusty pike]

i figured it out 😼

[south violet]

@lusty pike OH MY GOD YOU COMMITTED

This mega thread is part of my legacy

You are now an integral part of my story

And have provided innumerable levels of inspiration

[lusty pike]

I KNOW, I FINALLY DID IT

[lusty pike]

go to richmond next year they gave me a ton of money 🤭

may i ask how much aid did they give? i applied rd and i hope i make it to richmond or wesleyan intl seekig heavy aid

[lusty pike]

ofc!! they gave me about 68k/y including all fees and tuition and room and meal plans!

so ill be paying about 16k/y, and i have a pretty nice summer job so only about 8k a year, and im using 5k from a savings account ive been building so about 3k

omgg congratss!! u must have monster stats thats literally crazy

[lusty pike]

nuh uh 😭😭

they just gave me a lot of need based aid

but they have a ton of aid for students so it worked out pretty well!

i have a 4.3 gpa but was test optional

4.3 w? thats awesome, my school doesnt do wgpa

i got a 3.6 uw i think im done for 💀

but i think my essays also carried my application as well as my transcript, like yea i don't have a lot of college courses but ive taken all that i can and ive gotten straight A's all 4 years

[lusty pike]

nah you got this

[limber rover]

CONGRATS BELLA

[lusty pike]

i think stat wise they're definitely a little lenient

[lusty pike]

THANK YOU SO MUCH POOKIE

[lusty pike]

😭 yeah i hope my portfolio, sat score and essay carry

oh you got this fs!!

we'll find out late march!!

i was in the art museum when i got my decision and i was shaking so bad 💀

i paced around for like 20 minutes before opening it

then my friend fell down the stairs bc she's talented and a bunch of people saw it ✨️

[lusty pike]

where are you applying from if you don't mind me asking?

anyways i didn't go to bed until 4 am and i am literally tweaking rn

[lusty pike]

😭 the patient to even pace around, id start crying

[lusty pike]

im applying from vietnam

😂 mann i shouldve applied to richmond or wesleyan ed2

i did nyu and got into nyush with the shittiest aid that according to reddit "they didnt really accept u"

[lusty pike]

if i sat down i genuinely think i would have died 💀

[lusty pike]

:((

richmond i will say gives a lot of aid but are not need blind to applicants outside of the United States

but you got this

im tryna see everyone from this thread and the other group chats this fall because everyone i have met is genuinely so interesting and kind and sweet

and slightly chaotic

[lusty pike]

😭 really they said smth about being need blind to "traditional first year applicant" and idek what they mean

wait can you show me a ss of that im a little dumb

i will ✨️interpret✨️

[lusty pike]

heree

😭

OKAY SO

the demonstrated need part is completely true

like they saw we are broke broke and was like here peasant

but traditional applicants are probably students from the US

so it is a factor in decisions, if they are unable to offer need at that time it will affect your offer of admission

how much are you asking for if you don't mind me asking 😭

[south violet]

I’m definitely planning on applying

[lusty pike]

😭 yeah maybe, they answered it in an ambigous way when it comes to intl applicants

[lusty pike]

wait i need to know the coa

cause my family is able to give me 30k/year, but thatd kinda put them into debt so i wanna get more

i wish i could

[lusty pike]

hehe so uh

funny you ask

the sticker price which includes EVERYTHING is like

84k

👩‍🎤

tuition is 62k around there

im hanging onto the "meeting all demonstrated need".

[lusty pike]

you'll be good pooks

they do meet 100% of need

but it's based off of taxes and things

if they saw how much debt we were in id be going for free so 💀

i lowkey want them to give me more than what i need tho just because

[lusty pike]

real

[lusty pike]

💀 oh yeah im def attend for free

in some heavy debt rn

you'll be good then 🤌

unrelated but i got a really good pomegranate fruit tea yesterday and it's basically a virgin pomegranate mojito and ive never been happier

tearing this shii up

if you're international but have US citizenship i think you're included in need blind

forgot to mention that

[lusty pike]

so they replaced the rum w tea?

[lusty pike]

😔 too bad im not

[lusty pike]

nah there's no rum in the first place it just has every other component 😭

[lusty pike]

frick

im breaking into the AO to get you in

[lusty pike]

😭 how do u call that tea

[lusty pike]

frr pls put in the best words

[lusty pike]

BECAUSE ITS GREEN TEA BASED 😭

and has pomegranate juice and lime and mint

😰 green tea? imagine how much better that wouldve tasted with oolong

[lusty pike]

it was so good don't be a hater 😭

my friend didn't finish hers so i took it lol

i had jasmine with oolong

it was really good

[limber rover]

LMFAOO THE IG GC

[lusty pike]

WE NEED TO BE BANNED

[limber rover]

😭😭😭😭

[lusty pike]

WAIT DID YOU COMMIT TO YALE

im going to start tweaking

[lusty pike]

POOKIE

[limber rover]

noo not yet

sorry pook but its my top choice rn :(😭

[lusty pike]

it's okay you deserve it!!

[icy idol]

Does Richmond want letters of continued interest?

[sharp kelp]

I think it's just a basic form to submit from your portal - not sure if sending something extra is discouraged or not

[lusty pike]

me and a friend had a hard time figuring this out this morning

do you apply directly to macintyre or is it after you go to uva for a year or 2

for fall 25

[severe lagoon]

after you go to uva

[lusty pike]

Bruh why did I ask that in this thread that's my bad

tried to put it in uva

[subtle rover]

https://urnow.richmond.edu/features/article/-/24115/it-s-an-extraordinary-class-already.html

[south violet]

What a based school

[teal axle]

did anyone else's parents get an email like this? its personally directed, but I'm RD so I don't have an acceptance yet?

"so you can receive an estimated financial aid offer" is just really strange

[tidal trail]

Likely lol?

[severe lagoon]

i got a similar one from lafayette but idk

[blazing gust]

You are domestic right?

[teal axle]

yep

[lusty pike]

they just want to have everything together so they can give you one asap

it happened to me

ish

i didn't get mine until like 2 weeks after i got accepted bc my documents never sent

[teal axle]

Which would make sense if i was already accepted lmfao

[lusty pike]

well i think they send it to everyone

[teal axle]

a financial aid offer?

[lusty pike]

not the offer itself but the admissions office and financial aid office are two completely separate entities so they would formulate an offer for you regardless of your admission status, but depending on what the status is from the admission office is, they will send you one

[stable oasis]

When’s rd coming out

[silent cloak]

[lusty pike]

css isnt in the app checklist tho

[blazing gust]

Nope
They just sent a çss fee waiver, not special tho

[lusty pike]

they havent been emailing me 😔

[tidal trail]

yeah but in the fin aid section ib

are you guys EA deferred too or regular?

[lusty pike]

im rd

🗽

[silent cloak]

Oos

International

[tidal trail]

intl

[tidal trail]

.

[tidal trail]

where?

[blazing gust]

Nah it's for both domestic and intls

[silent cloak]

Yeah I think so too

I saw something on its page that said like “we meet every accepted students need” or something

[lusty pike]

idk this is all i got in fin aid

[silent cloak]

It says on need based aid

That

“Richmond commits to meeting 100% of our students demonstrated need”

Wait

Nvm

I’m think I’m dumb

I

[lusty pike]

😔 its ok im used to schools not giving intl need based aid

[silent cloak]

Ohh you’re int?

Europe

[lusty pike]

yuh

[silent cloak]

?

[lusty pike]

asia

[silent cloak]

Nice

Where did u apply in the states

[lusty pike]

like what colleges?

[silent cloak]

Yea

[lusty pike]

YOU GUYS GOT THIS IM HOPING TO SEE SOME FUTURE SPIDERS 💞

[silent cloak]

Did u get in full ride

[lusty pike]

i didn't get a full ride but i only have to pay like 8k/y

[silent cloak]

Dub

This week is gonna be hell

I still need uva w&m and urich

Got waitlisted form VTech sadly

[lusty pike]

UVA waitlisted me so i am still salty

[silent cloak]

Cause I got banned

[lusty pike]

i think every rd got waitlisted

[silent cloak]

And I didn’t figure out tech dropped decisions 2 weeks ago

[lusty pike]

what 😭

[silent cloak]

I was banned for 2 months form a2c

And I get my college news from a2c

[lusty pike]

what did you do

[silent cloak]

So i didn’t realize tech released that early 😭😭

[silent cloak]

Accumulation of warns

[lusty pike]

😭

[silent cloak]

What did u commit for

I only applied cause I got a guaranteed roommate

[lusty pike]

you technically don't commit for anything since you're undeclared

BUt

[silent cloak]

Oh what

I thought u get major

[lusty pike]

double major in anthropology and art history with a double minor in french and archaeology

[silent cloak]

Crazy

I applied cause I realized I got a free roomie

Plus isn’t the campus like beautiful

And the food

[lusty pike]

YESSS

everything is like perfect

[silent cloak]

If I get into uva though it’s gonna be tough

Ike if I get in both here and there

[lusty pike]

it's like what UVA wants to be but smaller with actual good food

[silent cloak]

Cause uva has the better student disability support but everything else about it is mid

I hope if Richmond accepts me I get good disability support

[lusty pike]

ngl this one girl at my school got into uva and she's actually stupid so apparently im really dumb then 😭

[silent cloak]

Which shouldn’t be a worry I hope

[lusty pike]

i think you will

[silent cloak]

Cause it’s like sub 4k

Students

Only thing I’m scared about is the size

Cause if I fuck up on campus everybody gonna know or sum

It’s like the same size as a hs

😭😭

Unlike uva or tech if u fuck up not all 30k students will know

[lusty pike]

dawg what u gonna do 😭

[lusty pike]

18 in total but these are a majority of my rds

[lusty pike]

okok lets think of it this way: does anybody care?

likely no

I DO THO

(kidding)

[silent cloak]

I meaaaan

[lusty pike]

no

they don't

everyone is doing their own thing

i have a roommate already which is a slay

[silent cloak]

Me 2

But he’s joking around saying “he has to weigh his options”

☠️

I hope he’s joking

But me and him are planning on both doing the dual degree program w Columbus

Columbia

[lusty pike]

slay

why is NOTHING updated for this academic year 😭

their portal and everything is for the 23-24 year but gives NOTHING for incoming first year students even after 3/4 decision rounds

[blazing gust]

Idt intl student do get full ride from Richmond else they are Richmond scholars

[tidal trail]

they said their average intl aid last year was 66k/year

which is pretty good and seeing that high amount there must be a few full rides (obvio rare) and few people getting around 30-40K

[blazing gust]

Yeah this
But 0 EFC would be a myth tho

[icy idol]

lol I got differed ea so I’m expecting a rejection

maybe waitlist cuz they love those too

[blazing gust]

Me too,
I am cooked 😭😭😭

[icy idol]

Should of sent a loci but oh well

[blazing gust]

Richmond won't accept a LoCI

[verbal whale]

What time do decisions come out on Friday?

[severe lagoon]

We’re preparing to release Regular Decision admission decisions Friday, March 15 around 7 PM EST.

[icy idol]

Oh okay

GOOD THEN LOL

[lusty pike]

[verbal whale]

[lusty pike]

[lusty pike]

[severe lagoon]

[tired crest]

OHH THANK UUU

[lusty pike]

[silent cloak]

I kinda don’t want to get in cause then I’ll know someone from discord that goes here

I’m playing

[lusty pike]

i will NOT bake you brownies.

[silent cloak]

That’s chilling

[silent cloak]

What were ur stats

Again

[lusty pike]

i have a 4.3 gpa weighted
test optional
300+ hours of community service
2 jobs, one is a leadership supervising lifeguard so i feel like that helped a bit
3 DE classes and 2 AP classes bc that's all my school offers
i got a letter of recommendation from a teacher that ive had for all 4 years and she's basically like my mom
and then like ive had straight As all 4 years in high school and take the most rigorous classes available

it's really not much though i think i got in bc it just shows that i work really hard, bc if you look at that it's like not that impressive, especially in A2C but i think i worked hard, idk im overthinking it now 😭

[silent cloak]

Fuck

Okay

Hm

I wasn’t a straight A student

I was A and B

Lowest grade B- cause freshman year

[teal axle]

welp. community college it is

[silent cloak]

Yep

Sadly

No Urich anymore

[tidal trail]

Panic mode already activated at this time

[teal axle]

7pm is such an awful time

would it really kill them to just release the shit rn

[silent cloak]

Yes it would
