Middle 50 percent of enrolled class has unweighted 3.84 to 4.0 and SAT of 1460 to 1530. Hardly of class made up of B or C students. I say this someone with no affiliation with the school.

It’s a solid school - not easy to get in at all - massive endowment relative to student body. It’s not Elon or College of Charleston. It’s closer to W&L and Davidson - a genuine peer in fact.

Never understood what purported “selectivity” has to do with school quality.

Only 20% submit SAT scores and middle 50 is 1510 to 1430. Good, but the 20% puts it in perspective.

I took a hard look at Richmond for my son. He wants to go to law school. The Richmond kids generally go to very unimpressive law schools. Very very few go to top 40 schools. Extremely rare for someone to go to a top 15. Kids at Furman and Sewanee go to far better schools. See more of them at Duke or Vanderbilt or UVA. Incoming stats are meaningless. It’s where they go when they leave that matters to me.

+1. Agree. Also, the “stats” at Richmond are fuzzy math. Very few kids are submitting scores. They play games to lower their admission rate. All smoke and mirrors.

To be fair, this is many schools. The sky high entering SAT/ACT scores reported are in many cases products of very low percentage of the students attending the institution being included.

And the stats to support this argument come from where?

Many of the top law schools list the undergrad schools for incoming students. Rarely do you see Richmond. Furman and Sewanee show up all the time. Those schools also provide detailed break downs of law school placements. Super impressive. Richmond was far less forthcoming with data but what little I got from them showed their places was very poor by comparison.

Richmond is more of a social / Greek scene school.

More of a capital of the Confederacy scene school.

Over past 4 years, Furman and Sewanee have sent 8 kids to Vanderbilt Law. Richmond has sent 1 kid over the entire four year period. Not impressive.
