Office of Admissions to bring elite high school students to campus for overnight stay

The Office of Admissions at Western Washington University is playing host to an overnight visit on Thursday, March 4, and Friday, March 5, for 23 prospective freshmen admitted with highest honors. Admission to WWU with highest honors is determined based on outstanding academic history and standardized exam scores. The visiting students are an elite group—their average cumulative high school GPA is 3.98.

Throughout their stay, these students will attend classes and connect with academic advisers in their areas of interest. They'll also meet with faculty members in the Honors Program and with Office of Admissions staff. They will have opportunities to connect with athletic coaches and representatives from special programs. Current Western students living in the Honors Program cluster will play host to the visiting students in their dorm rooms and also will organize evening social activities.
