CWU - GPA 3.0 and CADRs completion EWU - GPA 3.0 and CADRs completion Evergreen - GPA 2.5 and CADRs completion WSU - GPA 3.6 or ranked in top 10 percent of high school class and CADRs completion WWU - GPA 3.0 and CADRs completion If a student meets the criteria or is on track to meet the criteria by high school completion, he/she/they are guaranteed admission to the institution. Students eligible for guaranteed admission must complete an admissions application and additional requirements by the institution.

"This is a tremendous, incredible opportunity for students to go right from our high schools into college and not worry so much about the application process." To learn more about participating in this program, students should contact their school counselor. This press release was produced by the Peninsula School District.
