<p>I live in Washington DC, a city with less than a million people, many of whom are poor. Do colleges take into consideration my DC residency at all?
I am applying to Notre Dame, Georgetown, UVA, Penn, and some others.</p>

<p>THANKS!</p>

<p>Notre Dame, Georgetown and UPenn, no, but UVA, yes. Unfortunately, at UVA, you’ll be lumped together with the folks from the southern suburbs of Washington DC.</p>

<p>Private schools typically don’t take residency into consideration -or at least not on an individual basis. Public schools on the other hand, do take residency into consideration with more “in state” students getting admitted than “out of state” students. </p>
