<p>What is your class rank? If you’re in the top 10%, I think you qualify for assured admission.</p>

<p>I think your odds are pretty good, and if you raise the SAT score as expected they become excellent.</p>

<p>You’ll probably get in… unless they see your username.</p>

<p>noimagination- look at my GPA, I’m probably in the top 50% range. And lol shishka. I honestly think I would go to Bellevue College over WSU… Just wanted to hear some thoughts.</p>

<p>is WSU a bad school? i haven’t researched much about it but it seemed like an okay safety school. But then again, i’m from Boston so i don’t know the local knowledge. What are the bad aspects of it?</p>

<p>^ It has an okay rep in the Pacific NW. Academics in communications, architecture, civil engineering, and veterinary sciences are all very strong. Everyone I know who has gone to WSU loves it there.</p>

<p>Disadvantages? The location is very rural, which isn’t inherently bad but might be a bit of a shock coming from Boston. Reputation back on the East Coast will probably be nonexistent. Unless you get a scholarship, I can’t imagine that it would be worth paying OOS tuition. UMass is actually a better school in most areas.</p>

<p>I’d consider WSU if you want to study in its areas of strength, like the rural east WA location, or get merit money.</p>

<p>BTW, Pullman is not like Seattle or the stereotypical image of Washington. It’s temperatures are more extreme and there is far less precipitation. Picture wheat fields, not evergreens.</p>

<p>You should get in. I had the exact same SAT score and a very similar GPA (3.31) and I got in with a little scholarship money too.</p>

<p>Thanks for the replies. I posted this a long time ago when I was still brainstorming colleges to apply to. I have decided to not apply anymore, since I already got into Gonzaga + Seattle U. I’m also waiting on UW’s response. Plus, I don’t want to live in Pullman :P</p>

<p>Pullman rocks, though. :frowning: It’s the number one town in Washington to raise children. Okay, fine. I’m biased because it’s my hometown. Still, there’s nothing wrong with it if you enjoy awesomeness. :|</p>

<p>I went there once during my Freshman year of HS when my sister was doing college visits. It seems like a “small” town that has a “homey” type of feel. I think I would be a better fit in a big city like Seattle.</p>

<p>Just messing around. :wink: I go to UW, myself (I wanted to experience new things, etc.).</p>
