[quote=Anonymous]Ellington does not "rely"on MD or CA. It is allowed a 10% out of state ratio largely because the closest comparable arts school is in Baltimore. Dance, for instance, never takes people from MD because the training in DC is great. In other areas, training in DC is weak and schools need to up their game in arts training at the MS level. That said, at any arts school - Ellington or otherwise --the number one thing that gets you in is not talent per se, but passion. Arts teachers who give auditions can spot somebody who is not passionate about the art in a second. HUGE difference between liking the arts and loving it. It's a long day of school - 8am -5pm, plus lots of late night rehearsals. Kids routinely drop after first year when they realize it's much more than they thought.[/quote]
