Hi, has anyone already applied or knows when the application deadline for the University of Richmond is? I want to make sure I have enough time to polish up my application and essays.
The University of Richmond offers Early Action (EA), Early Decision I (EDI), and Early Decision II (EDII) application options alongside their Regular Decision (RD) application timeline. Here are the deadlines for each:
1. Early Action: deadline is November 1st, with decisions usually released in late January. This option is non-binding, meaning you're not obligated to attend if accepted.
2. Early Decision I: deadline is also November 1st, with decisions typically released in mid-December. This option is binding, so if you are accepted, you must commit to attend Richmond and withdraw any other active college applications.
3. Early Decision II: deadline is January 1st, with decisions generally released in mid-February. Like ED I, this is a binding application option.
4. Regular Decision: deadline is January 1st, and you can expect to receive decisions by April 1st. The RD option is non-binding. Do note that even if you're applying RD, if you're interested in particular scholarships you may need to submit your application earlier in the cycle, so make sure you check scholarship deadlines on Richmond's website, and don't hesitate to reach out to their admissions office for clarification on anything.
I recommend staying aware of these deadlines and giving yourself ample time to thoroughly review and refine your application and essays.
