Okay, thank you! Again, it must be frustrating, but it seems from your profile you have some other really good options, and a lot of times things do depend a bit on luck. You will be a lawyer, and I wish you the best on your journey!
Is anyone else struggling to decide whether to attend this university vs W&L?

@WearyVictoriousKingfisher: i was but then went to ASD and decided W&L is superior to Richmond. The students at Richmond dont seem very happy with their experience.
@Pandally: can you elaborate? we went to different ASDs and I didn't get that impression. Did you talk to students outside of the ones helping with the event?
@Pandally: Just curious as I'm about to make the final decision to attend.

@Letsdothisoveragain: yes. I did a separate tour that was a lot smaller and spoke to different students
Pandally

@Letsdothisoveragain: I just submitted my withdrawal from the pool of admitted students - hopefully that opens a spot for someone that does want to attend!
