The vast majority of our class is not from Arizona. We have a significant number of students from Utah and California. And many of our students from Arizona attended college in Utah and other states. So I know that our school doesn't show any bias toward state residents.
However, I wouldn't disagree with the Student Council member. They get inside information that the rest of us doesn't. I can see our school pushing for local residents if the majority of our class is already full and lacks enough state residents. I do know the school has gotten increasily competitive over the past year. The rumor is the class of 2009 had the highest entrance stats in the school's history, obviously that may not be true. But it wouldn't suprise me that this year's class has already been filled due to the increased demand.
