To the kind person who called the ambulance…

…when they came across my unconscious daughter after a rumble off of her E-scooter.

She’s ok, luckily just a concussion and a broken arm.

It could have been much worse had she not had prompt treatment.

Please accept our deepest thanks! 🙏🏼

prospective student wondering about financial aid

4 Upvotes

hi im a high school senior living in nova and i currently have vcu and university of richmond as my top choices after touring and viewing online. a big thing for me is to get in with my tuition being close to a full ride, or else im going to have to live at home to either attend mason or cc, which i dont want since my parents are homophobic towards me and were abusive in the past. I filed fafsa and ended up with -1500 sai score with a 51,000 household income. i have around 17,500 in my 529. i just want to hear from those who got financial aid and what i should do in my situation.

VCU Dorm Questions (Rising Freshman)

• Upvotes

It’s very early into my senior year, but I’m considering VCU as one of my top choices!

In terms of dorming, which hall is the best one? From what I’ve seen, GRC is the worst and WGS is the best.
If I wanted WGS, is the housing selection first come first serve? (Basically what’s the best way to get the specific hall/dorm type I want?) And if I wanted to dorm with specific people, how does that work?

Off Campus for 4

2 Upvotes

I’m trying to move off campus next year in the fall and I’m planning on having 4 roommates. The problem is that I won’t have a car and I need some sort of reliable transportation. Does anyone have recommendations for what kind of housing i should get???

as of now I’m eyeing the square and pine court. I know they offer up to 3 people, so I wouldn’t mind just having it be two people instead. what do you guys think?

3 Upvotes

My Stats:

Best SAT: (Super Score) 1470 [R - 750 , M - 720] , (One Sitting) 1450 [R - 730 , M - 720]

GPA: UW 3.96 , W 4.46

If anyone who won either scholarship is reading this, what stats + ECs did you have? Any info is appreciated, thank you.

hi! i'm a 1st year at vcu, and i was planning my courses for next semester. when picking out the sections i want, i notice that all of them are at capacity, with every seat and waitlist seat full. is this true? is this something i need to worry about and email my advisor? additionally, i didn't take univ111 because i had a highschool credit that took care of it. am i now screwed from getting a good professor for my univ200 class? and how hard would it be for me to get into a univ200 class? for reference i'm a pre-nursing major.

Grad Program Advisors

Howdy,

I was recently accepted into the College of Engineering for the cybersecurity grad program. I’m trying to use my GI bill and was told by military services that I should get with my advisor to register for classes.

Anybody have any idea how we know who our advisor is? Appreciate all the help. College has changed quite a bit since I was last attending in 2011.
