Ed

<p>are ED chances much greater than RD for out of state? Do they usually give same aid to ED as RD? Also, whats it take to be an echols scholar for out of state? Do they consider in state first for the scholars programs?</p>

<p>anyone, any thoughts?</p>

<p>Are ED chances much greater than RD? Maybe this article may help. John Blackburn, the dean of admission, states in the article that if you would not get in RD, then you won't ED. </p>

<p>thanks, that made things clearer. but still any thoughts on the echols chances for out of state? do they still favor virginians over out of staters in that process?</p>

<p>oh, thats good. what exactly does it take to be an echols scholar?</p>
