The second round of invitations for three of UVA's scholars programs went out last night by email and portals are updated. Applicants from all rounds (ED, EA, and RD) to the College of Arts & Sciences and the School of Engineering were reviewed for a potential invitation to three scholars programs: Echols, Rodman, and College Science Scholars.
Students can apply to join these program and Miller Arts Scholars after some time at UVA. The process varies by program.
Scholars are less than 5% of the students in the College of Arts and Sciences and School of Engineering. There are many more exceptional students in the class that we can have in the programs. We may extend a few invitations after May 1st if spaces are available.
You can read more about the programs on their websites. In addition to showing exceptional academic records, scholars show a love of learning and an extraordinary commitment to academic pursuits beyond the classroom. We see this in transcripts, recommendations, essays, and activities. The review for the scholars programs is not driven by GPAs or test scores.
Congratulations to all!
