Undergraduate college: Washington State University
Undergraduate Area of study: Biological/Life Sciences
Summary of Experience:
Received a phone call acceptance from the Lebanon campus, rejected post interview from Pomona campus. Absolutely thrilled to be considered for this school. Most likely turning down interview invites if I get them from Creighton and MCW.
In the end, having family in Yakima and having grown up there tipped the scales in favor of PNWU. Have nothing but good things to say about Western and would have absolutely loved to go there.
Summary of Experience:
Pleasantly surprised by this school. Grew up in the area, so that's definitely part of it. Most likely matriculating here if I don't receive an offer from the University of Washington.
