<p>@guineagirl96 Hmmm Thanks for the clarification!! Since Richmond doesn’t have Early Action, I would need to apply for ED in order to be considered as a Richmond Scholars candidate, right? That is a problem (mostly for my parents) because they do not appreciate the greek life and alcohol use… They are very conservative… Can you tell me what you, as an undergraduate of UR, help me convince my parents on that issue or help me convince myself that it might be too big of a culture shock to a kid who’s grown up in a tiny Christian villages her whole life? 
Also, a comment on diversity, open-mindedness would be appreciated (I have read a lot of reviews by UR students and the narrow-minded, homogenous aspects that those students seem to elaborate don’t seem very welcoming, being a fully third cultural kid) Thanks!</p>
