About University of Richmond
University of Richmond is a very small private university in University of Richmond, VA, in a city setting.
What University of Richmond looks for
With an acceptance rate around 22%, the application readers spend less time per file than they do at the most selective schools, but they still read. A solid GPA, strong letters, and an essay that sounds like you wrote it yourself go a long way here. The biggest unforced error: a generic supplement essay. Even moderately selective schools notice when you have not bothered to learn anything about them.
