My daughter also got an offer of WSU through EA, with some merit scholarship, but she would like to study in NY state, because of the urban college setting. She is a city girl. So, we can't enjoy the in-state tuition fee. My daughter also applied UW thro' regular applicant. The result might release around the end of Feb. However, UW does not offer my daughter preferred major! We visited WSU campus in past summer, my daughter don't like its rural campus! I think, it seems more choice of good HS in great Seattle area. For the fulfillment of residency, i wonder it needs to rent or purchase property for a permanent address, as long as the parent of the dependent student (not the student himself) has issue driving license and tax in the state for at least one year.
