2025 Waitlists- expect movement (read why) and list them here

What are you asking?

I am asking for the person who simply posted “U Richmond” to provide some context.

Counselors have reported movement at Providence and UVM

Adding OOS for prior post re BU CAS. Just in case relevant!

Can you let me know if it was a call or email? S25 is also on the UofR waitlist.

Congratulations! This is the one my son is waiting on, also for business. Do you mind sharing the region and/or if you needed aid, if you are comfortable doing so?

Also, was he notified via call or email? We know the odds are low–but just trying to get a better sense of HOW low;)

Bucknell reported by a counselor.

8% of Richmond’s Class of 2028 was from the waitlist so it’s not as much of a long shot as most schools. Good luck!

Wow, I didn’t know that! Because it’s a relatively small school (and we are in the need pile), I feel a lot of uncertainty. But I appreciate this little spark of hope. He is excited about where he is enrolled, but really did—and unexpectedly so—fall in love with Richmond.

D25 similar language in VM and email from Lafayette and I had the same thought regarding % acceptance rate as it felt like a soft acceptance; she was told her Portal/Acceptance letter wouldn’t be released until she accepted. Email also mentioned her merit amount/award.

Thank you! Sure we’re from S. Florida area. My son told me he”heard from Richmond about the waitlist” so I checked his portal and it said there was a status update and a number to call. I called and they said he has a spot but we have 48 hours to let them know and 7 days to make a deposit. I didn’t ask about aid but will if my son is still interested. Good luck!

Thank you, this is helpful! We are New England. I know Richmond is need-blind for admissions but need-aware for the waitlist; we are very much in the need pile, so just wondering whether that is coming into play.

Congrats to your son and best of luck with whatever he decides!

These “exploding offers” with the tight response time is an additional stress! Yikes!

I suspect this thread will also “explode” with additional reports of WL activity after May 1. Good luck, everyone!

eta see update below. That counselor clarified that they made an error and that the two students they mentioned were originally deferred from early action and then admitted in March andApril.

Nope for UVA! We always put a note on our website and on social media when we start our WL process.

Any ideas when the process will start?
