Can Transfer students be awarded Echols status?
Yes, but it’s very rare. Since colleges and universities vary so widely in academic expectations it is extremely to determine merit based on external performance. However, in exceptional cases transfer students with outstanding records, and coming from peer schools, have been awarded Echols status by the Admissions Office. In 2004, 10 transfer students were offered Echols. On the other hand, there are frequent intra-University transfers between Echols and the Rodman Scholars Program in the School of Engineering .
