I agree with jc40. My son entered as an Echols, but forfeited it upon entering the Comm School. Clearly, it is an honor to be selected for Echols and it recognizes high acheiving and interesting students, but it should only be used as a deciding factor if all other things are equal. For the same reason, in my opinion you should not dismiss UVa as a choice solely because you were not offered a place in the program. Make sense?
