We believe that ability, potential and success are not measured exclusively by grades. Western values the diverse experiences and perspectives that make you unique. Your essay response will help the Admissions Committee learn what is important to you and what qualities you would bring to Western’s community. A response to Question #1 is required, and you may respond to more than one if applicable. We recommend 300-500 words per question (this is not a firm limit but a recommended range). Suggestions for writing a strong application essay are available at admissions.wwu.edu/essay.Required:Tell us about your education and/or professional goals, including academic preparation, life experiences, enrichment activities, future plans, etc. In addition, feel free to address what makes Western Washington University a good match for your interests.Optional:Western benefits from a student body whose energy and interests extend beyond the classroom.
