GPA for WSU?

Hi there! I'm a junior and I've been seriously considering applying to Washington State University (WSU). I'd like to know their GPA requirements or the recommended GPA to have a good chance of being admitted. Any info would be super helpful! Thanks!

Hi! Washington State University (WSU) admits students with a wide range of GPAs, but to provide you with a general idea, the middle 50% of admitted students in recent years had a GPA between 3.2 and 3.8. With this in mind, if your GPA falls between 3.2 and 3.8, you would likely have a competitive chance of being admitted. However, remember that your GPA is not the only factor WSU considers in their admissions process.

WSU has a holistic admissions process, which means they also consider other aspects of your application, such as your extracurricular involvements, essay, and letters of recommendation. Due to this, a student with a GPA lower than 3.2 could still potentially be admitted if their application is strong in other areas, while a student with a higher GPA may not be guaranteed admission if other areas of their application are lacking.

It's important to focus on maintaining or improving your GPA and also developing other aspects of your application, like participating in activities that align with your interests and passions, completing any required standardized tests (although WSU is currently test-optional), writing a strong essay that highlights your personality and viewpoint, and obtaining letters of recommendation from teachers or counselors who can speak to your capabilities and qualities. Good luck with your application to WSU!
