wsu 我没有申请，他的综合和专业排名都不是很高。不过他的地理位置不错，诞生了微软的创始人之一 保罗·艾伦
今年至少有三位同学拿到ｗｓｕ的ｏｆｆｅｒ，有ｅｅ也有ｃｓ。有本科也有研究生。
关于ｗｓｕ的更多信息，还是请他们来介绍比较合适。
不过不要以为ｗｓｕ可以拿了当保底的， 拿到ｏｆｆｅｒ的三位同学都可以说是top byr
所以今年的情况可能会是这样： 拿到ｏｆｆｅｒ的人有更好的ｏｆｆｅｒ，锯掉了ｗｓｕ。真是想去的人被ｗｓｕ据。
不知他家今年收到ｂｕｐｔ的三份据信后 是什么感受。
建议以后ｔｏｐ的同学还是不要申请ｗｓｕ了^_^～～～

Washington State University (WSU) is a major public research university in Pullman, Washington. The state's land-grant university, WSU has a mission of teaching, research and public service, and offers more than 200 fields of study. It is one of 96 public and private universities in America with "very high research activity," as determined by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. It is ranked among the top half of national universities according to U.S. News.
The flagship campus in Pullman is located on the eastern border of the state in the Palouse region. There are regional campuses in Vancouver (WSU Vancouver), Spokane (WSU Spokane), and the Tri-Cities (WSU Tri-Cities). The student population is 23,000 statewide.
華盛頓州立大學（Washington State University）是美国华盛顿州资助办理的一所大学。它的主校在普尔门，在斯普肯、三城和温哥华它有分校。此外在全华盛顿州有它的学习中心。
1890年华盛顿农业高校和科学学校建立，1892年1月13日该校正式开始教课。1905年该校成为华盛顿州立高校。1927年美国州立大学中的第一个费·贝塔·卡帕优等生学会在这里建立。
1959年该校改名为華盛頓州立大學。
1989年華盛頓州立大學的三个分校开学。此前从1920年代开始華盛頓州立大學就已经在斯普肯有夜校并在那里培养药店助手。从1983年开始華盛頓州立大學在温哥华也开始培养教育人才。
著名毕业生有漫画家盖瑞·拉尔森、广播先驱爱德华·R默罗、作家舍曼·亚历克西和微软的创立者之一保罗·艾伦。
華盛頓州立大學最大的竞争对手是爱德华大学和华盛顿大学。爱德华大学的校园位于爱德华州的莫斯科，离華盛頓州立大學的校园仅几英里远。
History
The school was founded in Pullman on March 28, 1890 and opened on January 13, 1892 as the state's land-grant college, the school changed names from the Washington Agricultural College and School of Science to the State College of Washington in 1905, and, subsequently, in 1959 to Washington State University. As a land-grant institution, the university has been entrusted by the state of Washington with 190,000 acres (769 km²) of land for agricultural and scientific research throughout the Pacific Northwest.
The first influential president was E.A. Bryan, appointed July 22, 1893. Previously the president of Vincennes University in Indiana, he had graduate degrees from Harvard and Columbia. Bryan ensured the institution offered a balance of the liberal arts and sciences with practical education in fields such as agriculture and engineering.
WSU's role as a statewide institution became clear in 1894 with the launch of its first Agricultural Experiment Station west of the Cascade Mountains near Puyallup. Extension offices and research centers have been established in all parts of the state. WSU's regional campuses in Spokane, Tri-Cities and Vancouver were officially created by the Legislature in 1989.
Academics
There are nine academic colleges on the Pullman campus:
* Agricultural, Human & Natural Resource Sciences (CAHNRS)
* Business
* Education
* Engineering & Architecture
* Liberal Arts
* Nursing
* Pharmacy
* Sciences
* Veterinary Medicine
A number of professional schools exist within the colleges, including the Edward R. Murrow School of Communication, the School of Architecture, and the School of Economic Sciences. The largest and most geographically dispersed of the colleges is CAHNRS, with research stations across the state, and departments ranging from AgriBusiness to Landscape Architecture.
In addition, the highly selective Honors College provides an advanced undergraduate study program, and the Graduate School provides central administration for those pursuing master's and doctoral degrees.
* Honors College
* Graduate School
Faculty
The Faculty Senate serves as the sounding board for the more than 2,200 faculty members. All major academic decisions must be approved by the Senate. The Senate is composed of representatives from each academic department.
Currently, there is a WSU presidential committee analyzing possibilities of creating new synergies through a re-alignment by moving departments and creating new schools.
Many WSU professors are nationally and internationally recognized for their research and scholarship. Seven are members of the National Academy of Sciences and/or National Academy of Engineering, among the highest honors for scientists and engineers.
Students
Two student body organizations represent the students: the Associated Students of Washington State University (ASWSU) and the Graduate & Professional Students' Assoscation (GPSA). ASWSU's organizational framework is similar to that of most American governments complete with an appointed and confirmed judiciary, elected representatives (from districts) to a senate, and an annually elected president and vice-president team. The president also has a paid staff ranging in size from 6-12 members depending on the year. As of 2005, the ASWSU president had the distinction of being the highest paid student body president at a public university at $22,000 per year. GPSA is similarly structured. Because of the smaller population of graduate students, and their relatively greater occupation in academic pursuits, GPSA is less active and less influential.
Besides ASWSU, there are several other influential student organizations. The Residence Hall Association is a government body for students in the residence halls. Interfraternity Council, Panhellenic Council, and Greek Presidents' Council are governmental bodies for university-recognized Greek social houses. The Greek system has traditionally been the most powerful voting block in determining ASWSU elections. The Board of Directors of the Students' Book Corporation oversees the non-profit campus bookstore with over $17 million in annual revenue. The Students' Book Corporation donates all profits back to WSU students. The Compton Union Board oversees the management of the student union building and its services. The University Recreation Board oversees the management of university recreation. The ASWSU Student Entertainment Board brings in high-profile speakers and musicians to campus. The Student Alumni Connection hosts several major campus events. The Student Services & Activities Fees Committee disperses over $6 million annually from a student-imposed fee to student events and programs.
Recently, the student body has completed several major projects on campus. In addition to passing a $15 transportation fee to support Pullman Transit, the student body also voted to remodel the Compton Union Building. The building closed in May of 2006 and is scheduled to reopen in August, 2008. In March of 2006, the student body voted to renovate Martin Stadium, adding a $25 per semester increase to student fees.
Other
WSU Extension has offices in each of Washington's 39 counties, providing training and assistance in agricultural practices, natural resource management, human and life skills, diversity understanding and outreach, the state 4-H program, and many other program areas. WSU Extension faculty and staff have also provided assistance for programs in under-developed and developing countries. Many faculty members have appointments to do research, teach, and provide extension services.
WSU Libraries coordinates the administration of seven major libraries on WSU's Pullman campus (the Architecture, Brain Education, Fischer Agricultural Sciences, Health Sciences, Holland/Terrell, Manuscripts Archives & Special Collections, and Owen Science & Engineering libraries), five minor libraries on the Pullman campus (the GLBA, Heritage House, Human Relations & Diversity, Music, and Women's Resource Center libraries), and five libraries off the Pullman campus (the Betty M. Anderson, WSU Energy Program, WSU Spokane, WSU Tri-Cities, WSU Vancouver libraries). WSU Libraries also participates in a consortium with 33 other regional libraries in an inter-library loan system.
The WSU Museum of Art has several permanent collections including the Holland Collection, Orton Collection, Goya and Daumier Collections, Chaplin Woodcuts, Consortium Collections, Meyer Shapiro Print Collection, and Elwood Collection. Other permanent collections contain works by Northwest artists D. Griffin, Mark Tobey, Kenneth Callahan, Margaret Tomkins and former faculty members from WSU and the University of Washington. Several other collections and museums also exist on the Pullman campus and include the Connor Museum of Natural History, Culver Collection (petrified pre-historic animals), Jacklin Collection of Silicified Wood & Minerals, McCaw Fluorescent Mineral Display, and Museum of Anthropology.
Campus
The Pullman campus of Washington State University is 620 acres (2.5 km²) and is located seven miles from the Washington-Idaho border and Moscow, ID in the Palouse region. The Palouse is defined by its unique rolling hills that were created by wind-blown soil, which supports one of the world's most productive agriculture regions. The main crops are wheat, peas, barley, and lentils. Evenings are often highlighted by a spectacular blue-pink sunset, which the first Board of Regents decided to use as the college's colors (later changed to the current crimson and gray colors). Perched atop College Hill (one of the four main hills in Pullman), the campus overlooks downtown Pullman. WSU alumni are known for having "Cougar Calves," well-toned legs gained from years of walking the hills of Pullman.
Weather
Summers are warm and sunny, with temperatures in the 80s F. It is often windy and rainy in the fall; sometimes cold and snowy in the winter (with temperatures around freezing or below); and alternately rainy and sunny during the spring.
Athletics
Washington State University is a member of the Pac-10 athletic conference. The school's mascot is "Butch T. Cougar" and the school's colors are crimson and gray. Varsity athletics include men's baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, and track and field, as well as women's basketball, cross country, golf, rowing, soccer, swimming, volleyball, tennis, and track and field. In the past WSU had varsity programs of boxing, wrestling, and gymnastics. In 1937, Roy Petragallo and Ed McKinnon won the NCAA boxing championship, WSU's first national championship.
University Recreation also supports 26 club sports, including bowling, men's crew, cricket, cycling, equestrian show team, men's and women's flag football, fencing, polo, men's and women's ice hockey, judo, men's lacrosse, logger sports, rodeo, men's rugby, sailing, ski team, men's soccer, women's fast-pitch softball, tae kwon do, triathlon, Ultimate, men's and women's volleyball, water polo and wrestling.
Washington State's biggest rival is the University of Washington Huskies. Arguably, the most important athletic contest for both schools is the Apple Cup: the annual football game that pits the Cougars and Huskies against each other. The University of Washington leads the series 64-29-6. Strong (if less fierce) rivalries also exist between WSU and the other Pac-10 teams of the Pacific Northwest: the University of Oregon Ducks and Oregon State University Beavers. WSU's closest geographic rival is the University of Idaho, a land-grant school only eight miles east of Pullman across the state line in Moscow, Idaho. Their annual game played in Pullman's Martin Stadium is nicknamed the "Battle of the Palouse".
During the 2006-2007 season, the once-moribund Cougar men's basketball team has achieved unprecedented success, including its first Top 10 ranking under first-year head coach Tony Bennett, reaching as high as #9 in the AP poll 2-19-07.
On March 1st, 2007, Washington State was awarded a banner for its 1917 NCAA National Basketball Championship prior to its home game against UCLA. The championship was recently approved by the NCAA. The Cougars are also fighting for the 1915 National Football Championship. In 1941, Coach Jack Friel led the Cougars to the championship game, losing to Wisconsin 39-34. This is the last time the Cougars have advanced to the championship game.

校友介绍：
姓名：保罗·艾伦
生卒：1953年
描述：与盖茨共同创办微软公司的保罗·艾伦(Paul Allen)
籍贯：美国西雅图
保罗·艾伦1953年出生于美国西雅图，毕业于华盛顿州立大学。父亲当过20多年的图书管理员，为他从小博览群书提供了条件。1968年，他与盖茨在湖滨中学相遇，艾伦以其丰富的知识折服了盖茨。两人成了好朋友，一同迈进了计算机王国，掀起一场软件革命。1975年，他们共同创立了“微软帝国”，艾伦拥有40%的股份。1982年，艾伦因病离开微软后，一直忙于投资事业，他对天文科学和“外星人”的痴迷令人惊叹。他投资建立了一座“外星人博物馆”。艾伦说科学幻想是人类的希望、梦想、恐惧的反映，他希望新成立的博物馆有助于促进人们对其他文明探索的兴趣。他还捐资2500万美元用于寻找外星生命。艾伦是个超级篮球迷和不错的吉他手。艾伦目前拥有美国职业篮球队波特兰开拓者队和美国职业足球队西雅图海鹰队。他还在自己的“屠户店男孩”摇滚乐队内担任吉他手。
世界首富比尔·盖茨的名字几乎是家喻户晓，在这种过于耀眼的光芒下很容易忽略一个人，那就是与盖茨共同创办微软公司的保罗·艾伦(Paul Allen)。即便如此，艾伦仍然以210亿美元的身价排在了《福布斯》杂志“2004全球富豪榜”的第五位。
盖茨曾经说过，“艾伦在微软创建和发展过程中相当重要，没有他就没有微软，他的意见仍将被高度重视。”但与盖茨的雄才大略相比，艾伦的确算不上是一个出色的管理者或经营者。他本人投资掌控的公司和组织超过150家，几乎涉及各个领域，但投资回报少得可怜。正如《不小心挣下亿万身家》(一本以艾伦为主人公的传记)的作者劳拉·里奇指出的，“他不是一个好的管理者，因为他优先考虑的不是业务，而是对技术本身的痴迷。”就连美国的《商业周刊》也毫不留情的把他评为“最蹩脚的经理人”之一。他本人可不把这些放在心上，仍然一如既往的做着自己喜欢的事，就像他自己写的一首歌《时间炸弹》中的歌词一样：“我所做的一切也许都是错误的，但我仍然会斗志昂扬。”
《福布斯》对他的评价却有些尖锐，“艾伦最大和唯一的成功就是与盖茨共同创立了微软公司”，他在微软之后的商业活动基本上是失败的。当然艾伦并不同意这种评价，他表示自己非常乐意享受目前的成功，这是一种用不同的成功标准所衡量的与众不同的成功投资，也用不着去顾及季度收入或股东回报。艾伦集团的高级经理比尔·萨沃里的说法也许能证明这一点，有一种“艾伦效应”，即一旦艾伦投资某个领域，就因为艾伦投资了，这个领域就会变得很有价值。
艾伦很小就对计算机科学充满了兴趣，由于他的父亲是华盛顿大学图书馆的一名图书管理员，这使他很容易接触到与计算机科学有关的图书。14岁的艾伦已经对计算机达到了痴迷的程度，几乎整天泡在学校计算机房里玩弄那些电子设备并学着编写电脑程序，同时也顺理成章的与学校内的另一个计算机迷—年仅12岁的比尔· 盖茨成为了好朋友。两人在一起整天大谈计算机编程，甚至还相互比试。1971年，艾伦考入了华盛顿州立大学，但在两年后毅然退学。理由很简单，他希望实现自己软件创业的梦想。
艾伦知道，要实现这个梦想，光靠自己是不行的，不久他便去找当时正在哈佛读二年级的盖茨，并极力劝说后者退学和他一同创业。几经拒绝后，盖茨终于被他的“为个人电脑编写商用软件的想法”说服了。“整个事件几乎是在一念之差下决定的，”就连盖茨也说，“当时如果不是艾伦描绘的蓝图打动了我，也许我还会呆在大学里，那么以后所有的故事就不会发生了，我甚至怀疑自己当时是不是太过冲动。”
他们首先便尝试为第一台微型计算机Altair编写一种被称为Basic的程序语言。1975年，Basic语言在Altair计算机上取得成功，艾伦也因此被麻省理工学院聘请为?了苹果Ⅱ型个人电脑和Radio Shake公司的TRS-80电脑上。而艾伦与盖茨共同创办的微软公司也在这一年(1975年)成立。当艾伦作主用5万美元买下QDOS操作系统后，他们终于赢得了与IBM合作的机会。几年后，DOS操作系统成为了个人电脑的首选，个人电脑时代也由此拉开了序幕。
这两位创始人的配合可谓是相当默契，艾伦专注于新技术和新理念，而盖茨则以商业为主，销售员、技术负责人、律师、商务谈判员及总裁他一人全部担当。不幸的是，Windows还没有来临，艾伦就因病在1983年离开了微软公司。
一年后，重获健康的艾伦基本不再过问微软的事务，只在董事会留了个职务并拥有28%的股份。从这年起，他开始了自己广泛的投资行动。从最初成立的Asymetrix软件公司、Click2learn.com公司、Sum Total System公司到最近的Vulcan投资公司，他所投资的金额超过数十亿美元，像ESPN、梦工厂、外星生物研究所、人脑科学院、NBA球队、房地产、博物馆，包括去年的私人航天计划等都接受过他的投资。此外，他还热衷于公益和慈善事业。
盖茨曾经说过，“艾伦在微软创建和发展过程中相当重要，没有他就没有微软，他的意见仍将被高度重视。”但与盖茨的雄才大略相比，艾伦的确算不上是一个出色的管理者或经营者。他本人投资掌控的公司和组织超过150家，几乎涉及各个领域，但投资回报少得可怜。正如《不小心挣下亿万身家》(一本以艾伦为主人公的传记)的作者劳拉·里奇指出的，“他不是一个好的管理者，因为他优先考虑的不是业务，而是对技术本身的痴迷。”就连美国的《商业周刊》也毫不留情的把他评为“最蹩脚的经理人”之一。他本人可不把这些放在心上，仍然一如既往的做着自己喜欢的事，就像他自己写的一首歌《时间炸弹》中的歌词一样：“我所做的一切也许都是错误的，但我仍然会斗志昂扬。”
