Cons of Richmond?

<p>Hi,
I’m an international student from Nigeria and I really, really want to get into UR. Like, really. I was just wondering what the chances are for an African female to be accepted via regular decision for fall 2010. I hear UR doesn’t have that much diversity…
Anyway, how rigorous are the science programs? I want to major in biochemistry, but I want my coursework to be challenging so that meds school will be interested. </p>

<p>I’ve got lots of extracurriculars and leadership, including sports team captain and class president.</p>

<p>But most importantly, will I fit in? Is UR really more of a homogeneous population of the upper middle class? I don’t mind though, I’m just wondering.</p>

<p>And as for parties, are there still things to do if I don’t drink and don’t become part of a sorority?</p>

<p>Thanks,</p>
