<p>Did anyone go to Whitworth University?
I’m just curious because there isn’t a Whitworth college search thing. Also, I want to learn a little more about the school and the environment.</p>

<p>Our son is starting his second year at Whitworth. We can’t say enough good about this school. Great environment, caring profs. Growth, their opening a new science building this fall and expanding the Hub. They have a great pre-med program and international programs. It is a Christian school, and though it’s not a forced environment, most of the students come from a basis of faith. Just a lot of really happy kids. I can say it’s changing our son’s life for the better.</p>
<p>I’d be glad to answer questions.</p>

<p>Hi Mr. Greg,
Thank you for taking your time to answer my post! I was wondering if it was hard for your son to get accepted. I plan on apply early action but my SAT score isn’t great but I am taking my ACT this week and retaking the SAT in October. My GPA is a 3.62 and I never took a honors/AP course but i’m taking 4 this year. I’m in water polo, swimming, and orchestra. Also, i volunteer at the hospital. Thank you so much.
Blessings,
Steph</p>
<p>Actually Whitworth doesn’t take SAT/ACT into consideration for admission. they do use those scores for awarding academic scholarships. AP’s are good, good activities, volunteering. You should be good. Contact the school, check it out. Your interest and enthusiasism helps.</p>
<p>Thank you so much for your input. I have sent e-mails to the admission counselor asking questions about the admission process. Did your son do the interview? I hope you’re not stressing about your son going back to school soon!</p>
<p>Our son got one of those early applications the schools send out, He didn’t have to interview or write an essay. He just filled out the forms. He was a 4.0, but you sound just like a typical Whitworth student. His cousin applied a few years ago and was waitlisted, about 3.0, and very musical. He submitted another couple serious letters of recommendation from teachers, youth leader, and got accepted. We visited several of the liberal arts colleges in the Northwest and Whitworh had the most personable, helpful admissions and visitor people we found. </p>
<p>Consider retaking the SAT/ACT and study the one area you’re weakest on. Our son studied the verbal section alone for a few weeks and raised his score about 200 pts.</p>
<p>He’s going back Monday and is so excited.</p>
<p>Good Luck.</p>
<p>Greger what is the early application? Do you think that applying early will raise my chances of getting in? If you don’t mind can you tell me what your son dot on the ACT/SAT.
Thank you so much for your help.</p>
<p>At their website they have an early action application, information. It’s non-binding. I really think you’ll be fine, just think about where you’d like to live and go to school. You’ll get in there. There’s all levels of educational background and abilities at Whitworth. Your resume sounds like the typical Whitworth student. You probably have more extracurriculars than my son did and he had no trouble at all getting in. If you want to go to Whitworth, just show that drive and desire in your application and you should be fine.</p>
<p>My daughter loves Whitworth. She is currently a hs junior, and interested in pre-med. She loves learning and discussing and digging deep. Would she be doing herself a dis-service to attend a school where the majority of kids are not so highly academic, a school where she would clearly lead the pack? or would she find like-minded students anywhere? Or for her own growth would it be better to attend a more academic school where she would have to compete for her spot etc. She has been dissapointed in some school visits to see how uninterested/unknowledgeable the students in the classes are.</p>
