The essay and intellect displayed therein is the most important determinant for Echols placement. It’s UVA, of course everyone who applies (and is seriously considered for admission) is going to have stellar academic records. As a former Echols scholar, I can say that it is a very prestigious honor. Beyond priority registration (which is awesome!), the freedom from requirements is unbelievable. You can basically go in and begin crafting your own study plan by doing the Echols Interdisciplinary major…the only of its kind in the College. The Scholars are a very creative and intellectually curious bunch, from my experience, so this is a wonderful position to be in for those who truly love learning. All you need is 120 credit hours to graduate. No need to worry if you have enough science credits or foreign language classes. There is no money affiliated with it, but many students get scholarships in addition. I got a full tuition University Achievement Scholarship.
