Chances of getting in?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Washington State University

<p>I am a junior at a 4A school in Washington (state). I want to attend Washington State. I've slacked this year and have a downward trend in my GPA.</p>

<p>Here are my credentials as of now
-UW GPA: 3.1</p>

<p>-AP classes: English and Psych</p>

<p>-Honor classes every year except as a freshman</p>

<p>-Dual Credit at local community college (15 credits, 3 classes)
*4.0 at Pierce Community college</p>

<p>-Competed in DECA (deca.org) for my business class and went to STATE :]</p>

<p>-SAT: CR:600
M:440
W:540
Total:1580
*It was my first time taking the SAT last May. I did not study at all. Of course, I am taking it again in the fall. I plan to study all summer. I know I can obtain at least an 1800.</p>

<p>-ACT: taking next week
*I've been studying for the past month and I am foreseeing a score in the high 20's (maybe a 28 or 29).</p>

<p>-Community service: many experiences (counselor for a 5 day summer camp at local church, volunteered at McChord Air Force Base, worked at a fun run at my high school, and a day at a soup kitchen)</p>

<p>-Sports at high school:
9th: football, track (no letters)
10th: football, basketball, track (no letters)
11th: cross country, track (LETTERED in cross country)</p>

<hr>

<p>During the summer:
-Working a job at McChord AFB (5 days a week, 8 hours a day)
*Great pay: $14.04/hour :]
-Studying for SAT and possibly ACT
-Summer AP assignments
-Searching for scholarships</p>

<p>Senior year:
-Two AP classes (Gov and Lit)
-Business III, Spanish IV (college credit at UW), Pre-Calc, Personal Finance, and Ceramics
-More community service
-Re-take of SAT
-Should compete at DECA State and hopefully Nationals
-Running cross country and track</p>

<p>Other stuff: I want to major in business (sports management). I am of three distinct ethnic groups (Panamanian, Chinese, Caucasian). I have lived in 5 different countries because my Dad was in the Air Force (Panama, Turkey, Guam, Bahrain, and Germany -- 6 if you count the U.S.). Lastly, I am semi involved with my church.</p>

<p>That is all I can come up with from the top of my head. I know my grades suck. I had a 3.5 before this year but I became lazy. So I do have a downward trend. I really hope the colleges look at my diversity, because it is something I can really offer. I am also interested in ROTC. </p>

<p>So with that all said, what are my chances of getting into WSU? And any other colleges I should look at? (I want to major in business). Any other advice at all??</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>You'll easily get in, might get a scholarship too.</p>

3

<p>Really?</p>

<p>EASLILY?? Haha!</p>

<p>I doubt I'll get a scholarship, but that would be amazing.</p>

<p>Is there any chance I could get rejected though?</p>

<p>By scholarship, I mean $1000 for 2 years or $2000 for 2 years.</p>

<p>I doubt there's a chance you can rejected. If you bomb your personal statement, then yes you will.</p>

<p>Oh ok. Gottcha. So like small scholarship maybe for community service or something.</p>

<p>Are you applying at WSU, too?</p>

6

<p>Nope, I'm a student at WSU.</p>

<p>Sick! Do you like the college?</p>

<p>What about Pullman in general?</p>

<p>And what do you plan on majoring in?</p>

<p>One last question: Which Residince Hall should I live in? Or should I try to get in a frat house?</p>

<p>Thanks for helping me out, bro.</p>

<p>Pullman's ok. I'm a Neuroscience major.</p>

<p>Sports management...You should check out Streit-Perham, Scott Coman, and your third choice doesn't really matter.. Don't join a frat your freshman year.</p>
