[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I was surprised to find out that University of Richmond [/b]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]

I'm curious how you arrived at this conclusion. Do you have a cite?   U of R is called only "moderately selective" whereas UVA and W&M are both "highly selective". Schev's report on GPAs has both UVA and W&M way ahead of UOR: weighted gpas at at UVA at the 75th percentile at a 4.51 and 4.53 for W&M. U0R's is only a weighted 3.95.  UoR does not attract the same caliber of student as does W&M or UVA[/quote]

GPAs at state schools are hyper inflated.  Many privates have no inflation. For example Harvard is below 4.0 too[/quote]

Harvard is reporting unweighted GPA in its CDS.[/quote]
