<p>I would like to see the stats of the kids that got these scholarships. I have to believe that the “holistic” selection is code for “diversity or need based.” Daughter is 4.0 UW, 2280, lots of ECs, top 2 % of class…and not even a finalist.<br>
Given Richmond’s class profile, that should put her in the top 2-3% of their class. If 7% of the students get this award, and it is truly merit based, how do you explain that she didn’t even get into the first round? </p>
<p>I am not sure this school is worth $50K per year when compared to some of her other choices and scholarship offers. </p>
<p>Can the kids who won the scholarships post their stats?</p>
