FYI- financial aid checklist is back again. They might be uploading the stuff and it transiently took it away during update. So it might not have any meaning. Good luck everyone- keeping fingers crossed.
Well today’s the big EA day! Good Luck to all. Son applied EA. Probably his first choice along with Florida State(in state), I hope he picks Richmond as I feel it’s a perfect setting for him socially and academically. Accepted to Florida Southern and Stetson so far. Waiting on Wake Forest, FSU and UPenn.
1510 SAT and 3.99 unweighted. 4.67 weighted. 11 AP classes with all 4 or 5 scores. 400+ hours volunteer hours. Keeping fingers crossed for Richmond!!
Question … what if any merit offers are included at the time of acceptance?
has anyone heard?
Nope
Nevermind deferred?
D was accepted. Excited for her to visit.
Accepted! However, no mention of merit scholarship. Did anyone receive it?
Deferred but oh well
Accepted, but no mention of merit either…which will probably put them out of our reach 
Accepted but no mention of merit
does anyone know if any ea applicants get flat out rejected or do they defer all applicants not admitted???
