[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not true that they only take maryland residents if there are no DC residents who have applied.  [b]They routinely reject qualified DC residents and then let out-of-state residents into the program[/b]. [/quote]
Not true[/quote]

I find this hard to believe. Everyone at the school that I’ve talked to say they only take MD/VA students if there’s space. So I assume in those cases, there aren’t enough qualified DC applicants. So I guess my question is, how high is the threshold for “qualified”?[/quote]

[b]I know a qualified DC kid who was rejected, and Maryland residents were admitted after that.[/b] [/quote]
How do you know they were qualified? Who determines qualification? We’re going through the audition round now and it seems pretty clear that you can be disqualified for a number of reasons, including doing poorly on the audition.[/quote]

Honestly as a tax paying DC resident, I think a less qualified DC kid should get in over a rockstar MD/VA.  We should be first and foremost educating DC kids.  Anything else is nonsense.[/quote]
