@VirginiaDad1girl He received direct email, and it was on the portal
@cmfl11 Thanks for offer about Richmond Scholar experience information! If lucky enough to get picked, will definitely have some questions. Congratulations to your daughter on her Richmond Scholar Award!
@STEMFocus, Congrats!!!
Did anyone else hear about Richmond Scholars?
My D20 was accepted as a Richmond Scholars Finalist. They said there were only 75 students named, so we might not hear from many more on here.
@rosemaryandthyme when did she get notified?
financial aid was sent out today!
@tiktokgod She was notified on January 24.
Anyone hear about ED II yet?
Is it really possible to pay the housing $300 enrollment deposit and my S not have gotten his letter yet? I am so confused

What is the Facebook group called? I am sure it was mentioned in earlier comments but scanned and didn’t see it. My daughter is an ED admit and super excited to connect with other Spiders. Thanks!
Son accepted EA for class of 2024. Richmond has raised the bar again—great stuff! I have not heard of anyone below an ACT 31 getting a look from our DC area high school.
Here are his stats:
ACT 31 (composite, took once)
GPA 4.4 out of 5.0 weighted (school scale)
6 AP classes, 2 Honors
Varsity Sports
National Honor Society Leader
Over 400 hours of community service
Part time job
Unique hobby
Well written and thoughtful essays. He has a strong interest in business/ finance /entrepreneurship.
This is one of his top choices. Beautiful campus and a top recruiting school for East coast companies. He also really likes the vibe of Richmond. We will see… Thanks!
Is Rich announcing tomorrow when ED II will hear?
Last year, EDII was released on February 7th, according to a reddit thread. Generally, UR does not notify applicants of a decision release in advance, so if they were to release today, they would publish a tweet on Twitter first, probably at or around 4 P.M. EST.
My guess is EDII will be released on Friday, but there is a chance it will be released tonight as well.
It really depends on when they finish reading applications; I know they finished EA apps early so I’m hopeful it’ll be today or tomorrow.
We heard that an email would go out the day before. I think the released both EDI and EA on a Friday night, so we’re expecting/hoping it will be tomorrow.
Good to know thank you! Just checked when they released ED1/EA, and you’re right that they were both released on Friday. Hopeful we get an email today
@Mom0012. Thank you. It looks like we could know with a tweet in 45 or so minutes and then they would be on the portal tonight or tomorrow. Sound right?
@Thunderbird28 thanks for the update. We should all know in about 26 hours or so!
Has anyone heard anything else?
I have not. Maybe it won’t be today? I guess we have to wait and see until around 4pm if Richmond sends out anything
