Echols Scholar question..

So i have a quick q. I’m a first year who wasn’t selected as an Echols Scholar but am hoping to apply in the spring. How difficult is this? I’m very passionate about science, and am taking Physics, Biology, and Chemistry. Next semester, I will also be taking an Environmental Science course. My dream would be just to take science courses…so i’m hoping being an echols scholar would let me achieve this. any info/tips would be great. help a bro out

thanks .

lets bump this up

@Proudmama299 don’t assume that it is easy to get in as a Second Year student. My son applied with a 4.0 GPA and lots of extracurriculars and didn’t get in this past year. I have no idea how many are accepted. Good luck.
