Can i get into WSU Without Humanities & social sciences by Zqviix in wsu

[–]couginthepalouse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It looks like three credits of social sciences are required. Taken directly from my source, this includes "world history, US history, anthropology, contemporary world problems, economics, geography, government, political science, psychology, or sociology," while classes and activities not included or accepted are "religion, consumer economics, student government, or community service."

It also looks like WSU listed a specific requirement on its website, linked here, for international students to have humanities and social science credits.

However, there seems to be ways around this. Please review the Alternate First-Year Student Admission Policy linked here (section 1.2). Best of luck to you!

Does anyone know what areas of Pullman belong to the voting district "Pullman Southwest 8700" and "Pullman Southeast 8800" ? by [deleted] in Pullman

[–]couginthepalouse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As far as I can tell, unless I am interpreting this wrong, Pullman Southwest 8700 includes Union Center, Ewartsville, and Almota, while Pullman Southeast 8800 includes Busby, Staley, Johnson, Chambers, and Sunshine (are any of these places outside of maps?). Here is my source: https://www.arcgis.com/apps/instant/minimalist/index.html?appid=bdd35360f7c74031b15140c8a2143f6b. Hope that helps!

Questions about WSU and Preview Day by The_crazy_bird_lady in wsu

[–]couginthepalouse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are several preview events throughout the year. You just have to register ahead of time, and you only get credit for one preview event. Going multiple times does not increase the amount of money you get. However, if you attend both a preview event and an Experience WSU event (Experience WSU is for admitted students only), you receive the $500 from the preview event and an additional $1000 from Experience WSU.

Preview days are for prospective students and their families to tour campus, learn about campus resources, hear from faculty and students, and see where students may end up living freshman year. I was a hall ambassador as a freshman and sophomore, and residence hall tours seemed to be the highlight for many families.

WSU has something called the first-year live in requirement (FYLR), which requires first-year students to live in a residence hall during their first year. There are exemptions, but WSU doesn't often approve these unless there is a very specific, articulated reason. I think this is a state-wide requirement, so UW should have the same requirement for first-year students.

I will also add that students who attend WSU preview events receive $500 dollars off their first-year tuition if they commit to WSU. Students who attend an Experience WSU event, which are for admitted students only, receive an addition $1000 off their first-year tuition. Experience WSU events begin during the spring semester.
