UW is crazy competitive to get into the majors there and I believe(you can check their website) you need about a 3.7+ GPA in the business prerequisites at UW to get into the business major . Here are some of my brief thoughts on the subject: Programs at WSU are fairly competitive but if you do moderately well in your classes, certifying and competition for classes will be fairly minimal. Also from what I’ve heard, WSU is well known for its Communication and Business programs so I think you’d be better off going to WSU. WSU vs Oregon State Preview. For me personally, the small city vibe was definitely my scene. I've heard pretty good things about UW Bothell's RN-BSN program.I've known many nurses that have gone that route once completing their ADN. Washington State has the second longest winning streak in the nation at eight games and led the Pac-12 North by one game over Washington. Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts. You might have a large amount of acquaintances and career contacts post-UW, but you are rolling the dice on if they actually will "deliver" (as in getting you hired, promoted, or sending you business prospects if you are in sales, etc...) . Sign up for Washington State emails Press J to jump to the feed. Two big reasons the student body is more serious about studying and learning at UW, meaning after getting through it you will be better prepared for a professional environment and classes are not held back by lazier classmates . UW's alumni base is vast, but on average not as passionate about their school. They prefer their little group/society/friend circle they grew up in, and they tend to have a hard time making friends who don't fit the mold they are used to. Almost all "good" majors (engineering, business, computer science) are competitive, which means you have to apply to them. ._1EPynDYoibfs7nDggdH7Gq{margin-bottom:8px;position:relative}._1EPynDYoibfs7nDggdH7Gq._3-0c12FCnHoLz34dQVveax{max-height:63px;overflow:hidden}._1zPvgKHteTOub9dKkvrOl4{font-family:Noto Sans,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:21px;font-weight:400;word-wrap:break-word}._1dp4_svQVkkuV143AIEKsf{-ms-flex-align:baseline;align-items:baseline;background-color:var(--newCommunityTheme-body);bottom:-2px;display:-ms-flexbox;display:flex;-ms-flex-flow:row nowrap;flex-flow:row nowrap;padding-left:2px;position:absolute;right:-8px}._5VBcBVybCfosCzMJlXzC3{font-family:Noto Sans,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:400;line-height:21px;color:var(--newCommunityTheme-bodyText)}._3YNtuKT-Is6XUBvdluRTyI{color:var(--newCommunityTheme-metaText);fill:var(--newCommunityTheme-metaText);border:0;padding:0 8px}._3YNtuKT-Is6XUBvdluRTyI:active,._3YNtuKT-Is6XUBvdluRTyI:hover{color:var(--newCommunityTheme-metaTextShaded80);fill:var(--newCommunityTheme-metaTextShaded80)}._3YNtuKT-Is6XUBvdluRTyI:disabled,._3YNtuKT-Is6XUBvdluRTyI[data-disabled],._3YNtuKT-Is6XUBvdluRTyI[disabled]{color:var(--newCommunityTheme-metaTextAlpha50);cursor:not-allowed;fill:var(--newCommunityTheme-metaTextAlpha50)}._2ZTVnRPqdyKo1dA7Q7i4EL{transition:all .1s linear 0s}.k51Bu_pyEfHQF6AAhaKfS{transition:none}._2qi_L6gKnhyJ0ZxPmwbDFK{transition:all .1s linear 0s;display:block;background-color:var(--newCommunityTheme-field);border-radius:4px;padding:8px;margin-bottom:12px;margin-top:8px;border:1px solid var(--newCommunityTheme-canvas);cursor:pointer}._2qi_L6gKnhyJ0ZxPmwbDFK:focus{outline:none}._2qi_L6gKnhyJ0ZxPmwbDFK:hover{border:1px solid var(--newCommunityTheme-button)}._2qi_L6gKnhyJ0ZxPmwbDFK._3GG6tRGPPJiejLqt2AZfh4{transition:none;border:1px solid var(--newCommunityTheme-button)}.IzSmZckfdQu5YP9qCsdWO{cursor:pointer;transition:all .1s linear 0s}.IzSmZckfdQu5YP9qCsdWO ._1EPynDYoibfs7nDggdH7Gq{border:1px solid transparent;border-radius:4px;transition:all .1s linear 0s}.IzSmZckfdQu5YP9qCsdWO:hover ._1EPynDYoibfs7nDggdH7Gq{border:1px solid var(--newCommunityTheme-button);padding:4px}._1YvJWALkJ8iKZxUU53TeNO{font-size:12px;font-weight:700;line-height:16px;color:var(--newCommunityTheme-button)}._3adDzm8E3q64yWtEcs5XU7{display:-ms-flexbox;display:flex}._3adDzm8E3q64yWtEcs5XU7 ._3jyKpErOrdUDMh0RFq5V6f{-ms-flex:100%;flex:100%}._3adDzm8E3q64yWtEcs5XU7 .dqhlvajEe-qyxij0jNsi0{color:var(--newCommunityTheme-button)}._3adDzm8E3q64yWtEcs5XU7 ._12nHw-MGuz_r1dQx5YPM2v,._3adDzm8E3q64yWtEcs5XU7 .dqhlvajEe-qyxij0jNsi0{font-size:12px;font-weight:700;line-height:16px;cursor:pointer;-ms-flex-item-align:end;align-self:flex-end;-webkit-user-select:none;-ms-user-select:none;user-select:none}._3adDzm8E3q64yWtEcs5XU7 ._12nHw-MGuz_r1dQx5YPM2v{color:var(--newCommunityTheme-button);margin-right:8px;color:var(--newCommunityTheme-errorText)}._3zTJ9t4vNwm1NrIaZ35NS6{font-family:Noto Sans,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:21px;font-weight:400;word-wrap:break-word;width:100%;padding:0;border:none;background-color:transparent;resize:none;outline:none;cursor:pointer;color:var(--newRedditTheme-bodyText)}._2JIiUcAdp9rIhjEbIjcuQ-{resize:none;cursor:auto}._2I2LpaEhGCzQ9inJMwliNO{display:inline-block}._2I2LpaEhGCzQ9inJMwliNO,._42Nh7O6pFcqnA6OZd3bOK{margin-left:4px;vertical-align:middle}._42Nh7O6pFcqnA6OZd3bOK{fill:var(--newCommunityTheme-button);height:16px;width:16px;margin-bottom:2px} UW is much more selective and the students you will be around and learn from will be of a higher level. I can't say the same for UW though. I made some of my best friends while in Pullman, and I don’t know if I could say the same had I gone to uw. UW is the exact opposite. Feel free to send me a PM. Please use this thread for any other UW vs WSU discussion.

I have gone to both schools and I can say with 100% confidence that UW is by far the better school in so many ways. I've had several classes with non-professors, but WSU is fairly committed to making sure that professors are in the classroom teaching, and not strictly conducting research. Do you want a impersonal college experience or one that is friendly and personal? While WSU isn't necessarily the most generous school, there are plenty of scholarship opportunities for students of all backgrounds. No. ._2a172ppKObqWfRHr8eWBKV{-ms-flex-negative:0;flex-shrink:0;margin-right:8px}._39-woRduNuowN7G4JTW4I8{border-top:1px solid var(--newCommunityTheme-widgetColors-lineColor);margin-top:12px;padding-top:12px}._3AOoBdXa2QKVKqIEmG7Vkb{font-size:12px;font-weight:400;line-height:16px;-ms-flex-align:center;align-items:center;background-color:var(--newCommunityTheme-body);border-radius:4px;display:-ms-flexbox;display:flex;-ms-flex-direction:row;flex-direction:row;margin-top:12px}.vzEDg-tM8ZDpEfJnbaJuU{color:var(--newCommunityTheme-button);fill:var(--newCommunityTheme-button);height:14px;width:14px}.r51dfG6q3N-4exmkjHQg_{font-size:10px;font-weight:700;letter-spacing:.5px;line-height:12px;text-transform:uppercase;display:-ms-flexbox;display:flex;-ms-flex-pack:justify;justify-content:space-between}._2ygXHcy_x6RG74BMk0UKkN{margin-left:8px}._2BnLYNBALzjH6p_ollJ-RF{display:-ms-flexbox;display:flex;margin-left:auto}._1-25VxiIsZFVU88qFh-T8p{padding:0}._3BmRwhm18nr4GmDhkoSgtb{color:var(--newCommunityTheme-bodyText);-ms-flex:0 0 auto;flex:0 0 auto;line-height:16px} Higher ranked schools usually always have a better alumni networks, which means it will be easier for you to get a job you want. UW is a much more highly rated school and that will matter in getting into med school. Local Seattle news is filled with UW studies and accomplishments so that balances out their reputation. This means that graduate/professional programs and employers will value your degree more because you come from a more competitive school. They roll with the punches, and are flexible. The average GPA of the freshman student body is a whopping 3.76 vs WSU's average gpa of 3.29. If you choose uw you will more than likely be paying full price minus financial aid provided you qualify. ._1PeZajQI0Wm8P3B45yshR{fill:var(--newCommunityTheme-actionIcon)}._1PeZajQI0Wm8P3B45yshR._3axV0unm-cpsxoKWYwKh2x{fill:#ea0027} The Washington Huskies football team will host the Washington State Cougars on Friday in the 2019 Apple Cup. Washington State Cougars Live on Fubo TV. Also, The amount of resources this school has is amazing. My first recommended to watch the Washington State Cougars game online free without cable by trying out the FuboTV 7-day free trial.With access to online TV channel provider Fubo TV you’ll get Fox and many other sports, news and live TV channels, along with three days of auto recording via its 72-Hour Look back feature. .LalRrQILNjt65y-p-QlWH{fill:var(--newRedditTheme-actionIcon);height:18px;width:18px}.LalRrQILNjt65y-p-QlWH rect{stroke:var(--newRedditTheme-metaText)}._3J2-xIxxxP9ISzeLWCOUVc{height:18px}.FyLpt0kIWG1bTDWZ8HIL1{margin-top:4px}._2ntJEAiwKXBGvxrJiqxx_2,._1SqBC7PQ5dMOdF0MhPIkA8{height:24px;vertical-align:middle;width:24px}._1SqBC7PQ5dMOdF0MhPIkA8{-ms-flex-align:center;align-items:center;display:-ms-inline-flexbox;display:inline-flex;-ms-flex-direction:row;flex-direction:row;-ms-flex-pack:center;justify-content:center} Edited to say that I currently go to UW for my masters.

EDIT: I'd like to add that for many WSU alums Pullman has a special place in their hearts. It’s a lot homier of a feeling while also having that Pac 12 Big spirited school. feel free to try to convince me to attend one school over the other, Im gunna state the obvious here but you’re on the WSU subreddit so you may get some biased opinions. Being from Southern California, I have heard about UW a lot. If you have a 3.5 GPA you automatically get accepted to WSU no questions asked. Competition is much more cutthroat at UW. Which town do you want to live in? Washington and the Washington State Cougars will face off in a Pac-12 battle at 4 p.m. My admissions mentor didn't get into the engineering school at UW on the first try, even with a 3.4 GPA. Edit: downvote me all you want but this is what I see as a student of uw. Hello, I'm planning to go to these universities, which one should I choose? ._12xlue8dQ1odPw1J81FIGQ{display:inline-block;vertical-align:middle} Better academics and academic opportunities all the way around. Hence, the entire city and university is very student-oriented. Last, but not least: because of WSU's remote location, the university, city, and student body organizations put a great deal of effort into making the area fun and enjoyable for students. I would say "maybe". I plan on majoring in a business field so that'd either mean Foster School of Business at UW or Carson School of Business at WSU. ._33axOHPa8DzNnTmwzen-wO{display:block;padding:0 16px;width:100%}.isNotInButtons2020 ._33axOHPa8DzNnTmwzen-wO{font-size:14px;font-weight:700;letter-spacing:.5px;line-height:32px;text-transform:uppercase} Firstly, UW is insanely competitive (in terms of academics, not so much University admissions). The university is located in Seattle where there will definitely be more resources and more things to do for recreation resulting from the big city lifestyle. Definitely consider what you want, including what you look for in your potential program. UW is in Seattle, so it's a big city with tons of crazy stuff to do. Created Oct 27, 2009. To take advantage of this network, you should join student organizations.
