Hey guys, I've been thinking about applying to WSU, specifically the Pullman campus. Does anyone know their acceptance rate? Trying to gauge my chances.
Based on the most recent data, the acceptance rate at Washington State University's Pullman campus is usually in the 83-86% range. However, remember that an acceptance rate alone does not determine your personal chances of getting into a particular school.
Your academic record, the rigor of your high school curriculum, your extracurricular involvement, and any potential leadership experiences you've had will all be key factors in your application. For context, the average accepted student at WSU has a GPA around 3.5 and an SAT score between 1020 and 1260, or an ACT score between 20 and 28. While these are just averages and not strict cutoffs, they can give you a better sense of how you stack up at WSU than just the overall acceptance rate.
If you want to know even more concretely how your application as a whole stacks up at WSU, I'd check out CollegeVine's free chancing engine, which accounts for all quantifiable elements of your application, including GPA, course rigor, test scores (if you have them), and extracurriculars to give you personalized odds of acceptance at WSU and hundreds of other colleges: https://www.collegevine.com/admissions-calculator
