College Decision Day, celebrated on May 1, is one of our favorite days of the year.
After years of hard work and countless college applications, College Possible Washington students have officially committed to their futures. This year’s students are headed to study everything from aerospace engineering at UW to nursing at PLU, and we couldn’t be prouder.
We asked five students about where they are headed this fall. Keep reading to hear in their own words why they chose their school and what they can’t wait to experience next.
