Hey guys!

So recently, all the Echols Scholar offers we’re sent out to accepted UVa students in the College of Arts and Sciences. I was sadly not nominated as one and my decision to attend the university heavily relied on that. The website makes it seem like an incredible program in a large undergraduate population.

I know that I can apply in my spring semester in UVa again but I would have already committed myself to UVa by then. And it’s only another chance without guarantee. UVa is going to be incredibly expensive for me and I was super excited to have been accepted, but finding out that I wasn’t offered an Echols Scholar challenges the 50k+ I have to pay per year.

Can someone give me any thoughts on the program and my situation please?
