Apply. Everyone gets inOct 31 2016Communications
Apply. Everyone gets in. My roommate and I used to say that Puget Sound is easy to get into, hard to stay at and even harder to leave.

I had a 3Sep 06 2016Unknown
I had a 3.8 GPA and 1800 on my SAT. I don't see why anyone would want to attend this school. I do wish I would've put my scores to use and went to a better school.

Puget Sound leads on that it's super competitive butAug 28 2016Unknown
Puget Sound leads on that it's super competitive but based on some of the people I've came in contact here, I don't think so. Don't come here unless you have an endless supply of money to waste and you enjoy arrogant and snotty people.

Getting in is fineAug 26 2016Unknown
Getting in is fine. Getting out isn't. They will do their best to make sure it is virtually impossible to transfer out. I did. I'm now attending University of Washington-Seattle (started during the summer) I am loving it and I wish I would've went this route in the very beginning. It is upsetting that I still have to pay loans back to UPS for the one year I did but I'm grateful I was able to transfer out sooner than later.

This school isn't very known for a reason. Please don't base your decision on my experiences just be mindful of what your signing up for.
