Are there in- or out-of-state advantages for Echols admissions?
Absolutely not. The philosophy of the Echols program is to attract the most talented students we possibly can, and geography is no impediment. The Program enrolls students from all over the world: currently, over 40 countries are represented in the Echols community. The demographics of the Program bear this out: the overall ratios of Virginia and out-of-state students is roughly the same as those of the College as a whole, and the percentage of international students is higher than the College norm.
