[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She's saying there's a DMV quota -- and the density alone means that it's tougher to get admissions to the most elite schools from DC.

There are simply fewer high scoring kids in a state like Arizona.

You see similar concerns on the Virginia board among parents who want to send their kids to UVa or William and Mary but are from No Va. The seats for in-state students are balanced regionally so a student from rural Virginia may be admitted over a NoVA student with better scores/GPA.

Yes, I get that but I was just curious about how much less "qualified or competitive" the students from BASIS Arizona would have been had they been in DC instead.  And it can't just be test scores because perfect scores or near perfect scores which have been seen at BASIS Arizona are still perfect scores in DC. PP made the statement that none of the Arizona students that were interviewed would have been accepted, so I am thinking that these students overall package is somewhat less impressive than in DC.  Maybe it is all about the national STEM competitions where TJ really excels...or some other national level results in other areas.[/quote]
