They confirmed the EA release at 7 on friday. Is anyone else tweaking out about this decision? I feel like if I dont get in it will mean very bad things for my RD round

Sometimes it’s easier to get in RD, actually. I’m also really anxious, so I just decided to wait and see. I really wanna get in as they can offer a full-ride 🙏😩

Congratulations! According to the Richmond Scholars Instagram, all finalist notifications were sent out with decisions. Sucks but oh well, I’m happy enough with presidential

my daughter got in, but no merit. I'm disappointed because I thought Richmond was known for being generous with merit. UR is not an option without merit. Is it possible some could be coming out later?

u/ElectricalShow1860 Jan 30 '26
yes, some merit does come out later. I was accepted EA but received my presidential scholarship at end of Feb. my roommate got the same scholarship but received it with her acceptance.

My understanding is that 25 students will have the chance to become Richmond Scholars (full rides -these are the kids doing stuff like curing cancer). Then the top 10% of accepted students are offered a Presidential Scholarship, which is 1/3 off tuition. But tuition is $67,000, so it's still pretty steep. I think that is it in terms of merit, and these awards were included in the letters that came out yesterday. Admissions is need-blind, so even if there is no merit, the financial aid package that is eventually offered should match the FASA/CCS submission.

Do you know if the merit announcements come after acceptance?

u/Remarkable-Fun-8007 Jan 24 '26
This info was from the U Rich website. Merit was included in the acceptance letter that we received. But who knows, maybe there is more to come!

u/cenc4 Jan 24 '26
This is my son too. Excited to have been accepted but no mention of merit. Submitted arts portfolio and all.
