Good afternoon families of juniors and seniors…
We have an exciting news! Everett Public Schools has partnered with Central Washington University, Eastern Washington University, The Evergreen State College, Washington State University and Western Washington University to help students meet their college and career goals through the Guaranteed Admissions Program (GAP).
Through GAP, a student who meets the following criteria is guaranteed admission to these institutions.
To qualify for the Guaranteed Admissions Program, a student must have:
1. A minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0
2. Completed necessary College Academic Distribution Requirements (CADR) courses in high school (courses required for college entrance)
3. Completed the Guaranteed Admissions Program Opt-in Form giving permission to release the information listed below to the colleges
If all of these are met or your student is on track to meet these three criteria by high school graduation, GAP guarantees they will be admitted to all five participating Washington four-year, public institutions.
Students eligible for guaranteed admission must complete an admission application and additional requirements by the institute after receiving an admission letter. The GAP program does not provide financial aid or cover the cost of college. Students will want to complete the FAFSA or WASFA and contact the financial aid office of the colleges for financial aid information.
By giving permission through the Opt-In Form, you as parent/guardian are giving permission to share the following information about your student with colleges:
· Student's first name
· Student's last name
· Student's date of birth
· Email(s) on record (student's school email and personal email, if given)
· Mailing address
· Unweighted Cumulative GPA
To learn more about GAP, please talk to your school counselor or visit https://bit.ly/WaGap .
The Guaranteed Admissions Program Opt-in Form is for parents/guardians of current juniors and seniors of Everett Public Schools high schools.
The deadline for completing this form is Friday, January 6, 2023.
Thank you so much.
