Thank you so much!!! I have been looking and found some awesome places in the museum district that also have a good elementary school! Hopefully I will be visiting VCU this coming week to check everything out in person. Richmond seems like an interesting place.

Hello! I have recently been accepted into VCU. Are there any places in Richmond you wouldn't want to live in or to stay away from? I have kids and am trying to find a safe location with good schools and daycare??

Was just offered a spot at VCU for sculpture!!!!!!!! Hoping I can plan a visit this week to check it out. The waitlist can be a stressful place but worth it!!!!

Sculpture

This process has been an amazing learning experience!!! Stressful, but gosh have I learned a lot about myself. Rutgers: Rejected Wayne State: Interview VCU: Waitlist UC: Accepted Tulane: ??????

Also I have been practicing for my interview and came across these lists of questions on last years interview thread. Anyone else experience any other good questions or have any advice???
