I am a native Viriginian so I know how prestigious being an Echols scholar is. My advice? Stay at UVA. I know someone from my hometown of Suffolk who was an Echols Scholar and wound up at Harvard Med. I mentioned the med piece since you said you were on the medical track. Brown is, without a doubt, a great school. But so is UVA. Beautiful campus, good social scence, ACC athletics(particularly lacrosse), a nice little city, and temperate weather. Do yourself and your family a favor and save the money, enjoy your experience there, and then go to Harvard, Hopkins, or Penn to medical school. You’ll be glad you did.
