Washington State University- Pullman
From Wikipedia, The Free EncyclopediaWashington State University (WSU) is an American public research university in Pullman, Washington. WSU is the state's largest land-grant university and offers more than 200 fields of study. It is one of 96 public and private universities in America with "very high research activity," as determined by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. It is ranked among the top half of national universities (tied for 116th) according to U.S. News.
The flagship campus in Pullman is located on the eastern border of the state in the Palouse region. There are regional campuses in Vancouver (WSU Vancouver), Spokane (WSU Spokane), and the Tri-Cities (WSU Tri-Cities). Students may also pursue online degrees and certificates from WSU's Center for Distance and Professional Education. The student population is 25,135 statewide.
History
Washington State University was founded on March 28, 1890, and opened January 13, 1892, as the state's land-grant college. The school changed names from Washington Agricultural College and School of Science to State College of Washington in 1905, and then to Washington State University in 1959.
Enoch A. Bryan, appointed July 22, 1893, was the first influential president of WSU. Bryan held graduate degrees from Harvard and Columbia and previously served as the president of Vincennes University in Indiana. Prior to Bryan's arrival the fledgling university suffered through significant organizational instability. Bryan guided WSU toward respectability and is arguably the most influential figure in the history of WSU. The landmark clock tower in the center of campus is his namesake.
WSU's role as a statewide institution became clear in 1894 with the launch of its first Agricultural Experiment Station west of the Cascade Mountains near Puyallup. WSU has subsequently established extension offices and research centers in all regions of the state, including satellite campuses in Spokane, Tri-Cities and Vancouver. Overall, the Federal Government and the State of Washington have entrusted 190,000 acres (769 km²) of land to WSU for agricultural and scientific research throughout the Pacific Northwest.

Question: What do you need to score on the SAT to go to Washington State University?i not a 970 reading and math score and 1450 with the writing. that was only my first SAT take but im super busy and worried that i wont do my best of the SAT again. i love this school but im also looking at central washington unv. which i have no worries getting into. i have at 3.6 GPA and ive had a job, currently working on volunteering and i run and cross country and track. i also plan to join a club or two for senior year. i will be a senior this year :) and it will be a busy one. but anway, let's say i keep my first SAT score (though i do plan to retake it) what are my chances of getting into that school? thank you for your time and help.29 months ago
Best AnswerAccording to College Board, the middle 50% of SAT scores for Washington State University is: Middle 50% of First-Year Students SAT Critical Reading: 480 - 590 SAT Math: 500 - 610 (They don't have info on the writing portion) http://collegesearch.collegeboard.com/search/CollegeDetail.jsp?collegeId=3388&profileId=6 So your scores are a bit below par-- with your good GPA you do have some chance, but a higher SAT score would be better, of course. Try to get leadership positions in some of the clubs at your school if you can, because the more of that kind of thing you have the better, anything that can be called "leadership" or even generic "extracurricular activities" are essential to college applications. And study a bit for the SAT and take it again-- you're better off even having taken it once, because now you know what to expect on the test (rather than going in blind) and people often do better on a second try just because they're more familiar with the test format and more comfortable. Good luck! |
Question: Are you attending Washington State University?If so, could you please tell me how the campus is and the social life there is? Thanks!34 months ago
Best AnswerNope but you can check it out here: http://www.princetonreview.com/college/research/profiles/studentsSay.asp?listing=1023693<id=1&intbucketid=&category=2 You might have to sign up to see that, but this is what they had to say about campus life: The campus of WSU is in the middle of what students describe as "wheat fields," and the ubiquitous golden grain makes it a beautiful place to go to school. Student opinion seems evenly split on what kind of social scene this Pullman campus really has. One student writes, "Everyone thinks WSU is a party school. That is a myth!" Another undergraduate offers a list of the various pastimes that keep many busy: "In the summer there's always ultimate Frisbee and football games. In the winter everyone crowds around inside with coffee and cocoa to hang out and talk. [The community] has an eight-plex theater, which is a popular place to go on dates." One junior adds, "Intramural sports are a good way to fight the boredom." But a sophomore counters, "I always thought the ‘party school' reputation was overhyped, but once I got here I found out it's all true." One junior adds, "We sneak in some solid studying in between parties." Whatever the case may be, the Greeks have a large hand in the campus social scene, and it "basically breaks down to Greeks vs. non-Greeks." Though Greeks have a "bad rep" as lawless partiers, "the minority of Greeks provide this reputation," reassures one sophomore. There's no boredom during football season, however. "Football season is the best part of the year," writes a senior. Another student continues, "We are all Cougs. It's good to be one!" Students also exercise at the giant, state-of-the-art recreation center in their free time. Moscow, Idaho, home of the University of Idaho-and, by extension, a whole other undergraduate student population-is a 15-minute car drive away. the best thing you can do is visit and stay over with an undergrad! |
