[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How does the new 'promise' proposal make some residents not eligible to recieve thr benefits? What are the restrictions?[/quote]

Catania's new program is strictly need-based.  It will help the lower-income kids in DC to pay for school, yes, but the irony is most fo the families eligible for Catania's financial aid would also be eligible for regular financial aid.  DCTAG is not need-based.

WRT the idea of moving to Maryland or Virginia -- be careful with Virginia if you are thinking UVa or William and Mary, for they have quotas on kids from northern Virginia and it is getting VERY competitive to get in if you live in Nova, to where it's easier to get in as out-of-state (from DC) than in-state (from Fairfax) (I know, I know, it's suppsoed to be a state school, you would think VA residents had a priority, but...).  Issue is also starting to surface with Tech.

Have not seen any evidence that they are having those issues at other Virginia state schools or in College Park, though.[/quote]
