[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was surprised to find out that University of Richmond is about as difficult to get into as UVA or W&M. I'm a life long VA resident, and I've barely heard of the school. You would think a school that's so selective would have decent name recognition. Can anyone not originally from VA offer any insight as to how it's regarded?[/quote] Acceptance rate is not selectivity. Uof R is a well regarded school, but they accept a slightly lower tier of student, comparing within high schools for relevance, than UVA and WM, as far as scores, course rigor. UofR is slightly less selective than W&L, but W&L often takes students who do not get into UVA , so it is not too competitive either. Davidson/Wellesley/Bowdoin are more well regRded and more selective than UofR and W&L, yet that group is a notch under the top5 LACs. UofR is considered like a Colby in the Northeast: good school but not close to elite. [/quote]
