Univ. of Richmond Forum

Went to the open house yesterday and was pretty much blown away. Keeping my fingers crossed..

Why so? I will be making a personal visit up in mid-March and am interested to hear your opinions.

Beautiful campus, well funded facilities, very friendly staff. I did my undergrad at UR.

Good to hear. The only thing I am worried about is the job placement rates before graduation.

They claim their job placement rates actually went up in the last year. And if youre interested in staying in D.C./ Virginia then you'll probably be fine.

In via a very nice phone call. Definitely would be giving them strong consideration if I didn't make it into my main target.

Withdrawing shortly; good luck all!

Did you get a phone call first? Or just the email?

[bleedcubbieblue]

Phone call first, email about 2 weeks later.

[dibs]

hey bleed,

when you were called with acceptance, did the dean mention anything about $ forthcoming? or was the scholarship email a surprise?

thanks.

i really like richmond but i can't afford sticker.

I think the best thing you could do is to call Dean Rahman and ask her, she is very nice and very helpful.

[APHill]

I withdrew last week - John Marshall schollie(15+10=?) candidate. Good luck everyone. Lost in Eden, you going to W&M or W&L?

[bleedcubbieblue]

What do you think the chances of negotiating a scholarship are??

[APHill]

UofR experience is not really well documented here (maybe most UofR law students do not do their homework?). Possibly you should be our guinea pig.

I would highly recommend trying this at UR.

Uh, hi?

I just got my wait list letter.... was very optimistic but does anyone know how large of a wait list they have? Has anyone gotten on the priority wait list?

[APHill]

Just kidding, guys, I was trying to say that there are a bunch of threads and posts about other schools (e.g. Seton Hall) but very few on UofR. So I guess UofR applicants do not peruse these boards a lot, meaning they do not evaluate cost -benefit of going to school like UofR before matriculating.

Hey, apper123, I sent you a PM.

[jjinva]

Got my waitlist letter too. I KNEW I should have applied to more places! Oh well, part of me is relieved in a weird way. Dissappointed to be sure, but oddly relieved that the next three years of my life might be a bit more relaxed. Or am I just telling myself that?

[crysmissmichelle]

Is there a difference in the letter between priority and regular wait list?

[oberlin08]

Hey APHill, so you have to peruse TLS to evaluate the cost benefit value of a school?

That statement doesnt make much sense - a small percentage of law school applicants in general make it to TLS. And a smaller percentage of people actually post on TLS.
