<p>daffinito, I am sorry for your daughter. But I need to point out that Tom said in an online chat during the application process that Richmond Scholars have to show a big passion for something. I noticed you said your daughter has a lot of ECs. Are they spread in different areas or are they focused on something specific?</p>
<p>I am a Robins Science Scholar and I clearly showed passion for science, especially chemistry. I have a GPA of 9.98 out of 10 (I am Romanian and it’s a different grading system), SAT 2100, not so many ECs but most of them were focused on science. I participated in an international chemistry contest and now I am taking a gap year to do research at a local university. I applied this year though, so the research thing was taken into account. If you have any other questions or comments, feel free to ask.</p>
<p>sharonohio and auntcc, I would like to contact your daughters. I am eager to meet future spiders, but so far I haven’t talked to any scholars. If they want to, please, PM me their email address or their name to search them on facebook.</p>
