Admission requirements for Washington state University, as of 2013, depend on whether you are a freshman, transfer, or other-classification of student. For freshman, there is a set of academic core requirements (called the College Academic Distribution Requirements, or CADRs) that need to be met. Transcripts must be sent, and a personal essay is required.
