What’s the deal with Richmond??

I’ve found that the admissions culture at the University of Richmond can come across as a bit exclusive or elitist. It’s disappointing to see such attitudes in higher education, where inclusivity and openness should be at the forefront. Anyone else get this vibe?

Why am I not surprised?

The most overrated school ever.

How so? DC is applying this year, they have merit scholarship (President scholar and Richmond scholar) so we are interested. We didn't get the vibe from the information sessions we attended.

Huh? Does application require a recommendation from the Headmaster?

The elite ones do not give any merit, not to UMC anyway. Richmond is not that elitist.

I thought the campus was great if you were looking for a small school. Great facilities, safe, clean, secure, lots to offer.
