<p>You should be fine at WSU with that combo - although not guaranteed admission unless you are in the top 10% or have 3.5. Apply ASAP, though, to be sure that they don’t fill up their class before you get there. Deadline is 1/31, but more and more 3.5-4.0+ students are attending WSU now, so it will be a bit more competetive if you’re not in that group. Still, you should be fine and may even get some merit money.</p>
<p>p.s. If your first semester ends in time to get grades to WSU by the 31st you should be OK with improved senior grades. However, check with your counselor if you are in state. OOS you will be paying much more, so they may let you in for the tuition bump.</p>
<p>Well it partially depends on who difficult your schedule has been. If you’ve been taking the easiest classes available then that really hurts your chances, but if you’ve been taking a mainly AP schedule then a 3.2 isn’t very bad for the schools you’re looking at.
Assuming you have a moderately rigorous class load:
USC - Reach
UMI - Reach
NYU - Reach
BU - High Match\Low Reach
UIUC - Low Reach
VTech - High Match\Low Reach
Purdue - Match
Washington State - Match
Michigan State -Match\High Match</p>
