What exactly do you mean by "assured acceptance"? Does that also apply to out-of-state students?

    U.S. high school students who are ranked in the top 10 percent of their high school class or who have a GPA of 3.50 or better (on 4.0 scale) are assured admission to Washington State University. You will still need to send us test scores and apply.

do i have to take to SAT test even though i want to go to a 2 year college, would i still be accepted there?
  • 1308
    If you have less than a full year of college credit post high school to transfer, we may ask you to also have your high school transcript (or GED) and test scores (SAT or ACT) sent to WSU. If you have over one year of transfer work following high school then we will not need high school work or test scores.

    How is the orchestra at this college?
    • 1308
      The orchestra rehearses twice a week (Tuesday and Thursday from 3:10 to 5:00). Non-music majors find it a relaxing break from their academics. The orchestra performs four to five concerts a year of varied repertoire. Recent performances have included works by Elgar, Haydn, Saint-Saens, Mozart, Dvorak, and Robert Carl. Each Spring the orchestra also collaborates with the opera program to perform operas and musical theater. Recent shows have included Jane Eyre and Orpheus in the Underworld. In 2006 the WSU Orchestra was chosen to perform at the All Northwest Music Educator's National Conference in Portland, Oregon. All string scholarship recipients are required to be orchestra members.
