<p>Hey,</p>
<p>Let's talk about WSU!</p>
<p>Seems like there aren’t very many cougars here…
I will be attending WSU next year! It was a backup school for me but I recieved a regents scholarship so the fact that I don’t have to pay tuition changed my mind. lol
Hoping that maybe there are some other future cougs hanging around here…</p>
<p>I don’t really have anything to say, but you can add me as an interested party.</p>
<p>Hello - I’m the parent of a future Cougar! WSU is the only college he wanted to attend so he is looking forward to next fall. He plans to major in Civil Engineering and also join Air Force ROTC. </p>
<p>Any of you from the Olympia area? We live in Lacey.</p>
<p>We are from out of state and will be visiting for the first time on Friday. Daughter has been accepted to the Honors College and is very seriously leaning toward attending provided that she is happy with what she sees.</p>
<p>norcalpadre - hope you have a good visit. Let us know how it went.</p>
<p>We are from the Seattle area. Daughter was accepted to other schools (UW, Western) but she chose WSU and we are thrilled! We all loved the school when we visited, and we are looking forward to becoming cougar fans! I think WSU is sometimes overlooked by people and underrated, but it really is an amazing place.</p>
<p>UW is just too massive and impersonal and not very safe. Daughter felt very comfortable in the Palouse, and having lived in the city she is looking forward to something different. Go Cougs!</p>
<p>When do they send out whether you’ve been accepted to honors college or not?</p>
<p>We are also waiting to hear from Honors… Some people have already been accepted. Perhaps spaces will open up, since some students who were accepted to Honors will end up going some place else to college.</p>
<p>^ we had a great visit. My daughter loved the school and has enrolled.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>That is great news!</p>
<p>I received a letter from the Honors College early December. It says that if I don’t accept the invitation by May 1, they will offer my spot to someone else. Also, e-mail the department. They are very quick to respond. WSU was not one of my top choices, but they’re very generous with their academic scholarships–and visiting the school, albeit in the middle of nowhere, made the decision much easier.</p>
<p>^ same story for daughter regarding both the Honors letter and scholarships making the decision easier. Also while we may not have checked out WSU without both of these, it seems like a great college to us now even without these added perks.</p>
<p>i have lived in california all my life and im looking at wsu, majoring in kinesiology/athletic training, but i am very hesitant to apply because of the weather. is it truly raining and gray most of the time? im used to warm california weather and i wanted an opinion from someone who goes there or lives in washington</p>
<p>Since u got it I would like to know coz I recd letter for the Regents scholsrship but not the distinguished one.</p>
<p>It is my understanding that it is announced with the regular regents one. At any rate they should be up on the website any day now.</p>
<p>But, let’s face it, who they choose seems a bit random. One girl didn’t get it but got into Cornell, my school’s valedictorian last year didn’t get it, etc. There are too many outstanding applicants for even great people to get it.</p>
<p>…says the person with a 4.0 (uw), 9 AP classes, a 1480/2210 sat, number 1 class rank, etc. who didn’t get the distinguished scholarship.</p>
<p>I am sitting in the student union (CUB) as I write this. In the winter it is definitely cold, right now it is about 35 degrees and last night the temps were below freezing. Still, it is not as overcast and rainy as western Washington, where I live. There are plenty of blue sky winter days. Spring has beautiful weather, and late Spring/Summer can be downright hot. The rolling hills are somewhat reminiscent of the landscape around Palo Alto.</p>
<p>Hi everyone! I’m looking at WSU as well. It’s too bad this forum for WSU isn’t used more often.</p>
<p>Hi! I’m going to be attending WSU this Fall as a freshman. I’m going to be an old freshman though, 24, LOL. I’m getting out of the army after serving for 5 years, so I’m nervous to get back into civilian life, but excited to go back to school. See you guys there!</p>

<p>Hey guys… I was accepted to WSU as a transfer student (no big deal here though). I think that if I don’t get into UW I will go to WSU. However, there is a little problem - I will be done with all the lower devision courses required and I will be a junior. I intend to major in Business Administration. However, WSU requires a course (MSI 250) for which there is no equivalent in my college. I don’t know what do to. I wrote a week ago to three different people at WSU and I haven’t gotten any answers back… Is the way administrative staff at WSU usually works?</p>
