To any DC residents on this board, have you considered moving to VA or MD in order to get preferred consideration?
I had a meeting with the admissions office at VCU yesterday and they made it clear that they give preferential treatment to VA residents. To be honest, I'm not positive that I want to go to school in VA, but I will likely apply to many schools all over the country and may as well include the VA schools. I'm just wondering if it's worth moving a couple miles away to at least have a leg up in one state versus having zero benefit anywhere as a DC resident.
On the downside, I LOVE LOVE LOVE where I live and pay very little rent, comparatively.
