[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] APS. Echols is not based on GPA though - it's based on essays, ECs, etc. So my point about that was there was something in those that caught UVA's eye.[/quote] Unofficially, Echols/Rodman is a way for UVa to try to get a particular top student to matriculate at UVa, one who they really want and who they think might otherwise matriculate at some other school. Yes, essays and ECs are a big part of it, but the really crucial thing is whether they think the person otherwise would matriculate elsewhere. Jefferson Scholars are a completely different animal, with full tuition/fees/housing/etc., but again the Jefferson Scholars are being used by UVa to attract top students who might otherwise matriculate elsewhere. [/quote] That makes sense. He was choosing between UVA and a Top 5 school and Echols and the cost did help sway him/us. Not for the prestige so much, but for getting out of the 1st year class requirements.[/quote]
