[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know two MD students who got in for visual arts-one of them was accepted as a 10th grader. So maybe that department isn’t as competitive, or have fewer DC applicants.[/quote]

I believe visual arts has the most applicants.  One the separate thread I think there were close to 120 visual arts applicants for 20-25 openings.  My DC applied and did not make it and was actually more disappointment for a friend that did not make it that is quite talented so I do not know what they are doing taking non-DC students in that discipline.[/quote]

I think the reason VA has so many applicants is that most, if not all middle schools offer art classes.  Maybe the student who you consider to be quiet talented just isn’t as good as the truly stellar ones.  The MD student I know who got in as a 10th grader was the child of two artists/art professors.  So if that’s the competition/standard, I’m not surprised that some DC students who are good, but not great are getting rejected.[/quote]
