GAP gives automatic acceptance to Central Washington University, Washington State University, Eastern Washington University, Western Washington University and The Evergreen State College for students who have a 3.0 GPA and complete the core requirements for college admission, also known as CADRs. The program is organized by the Council of Presidents, an association of Washington’s public, four-year universities and colleges.

They just aren’t Washingtonians.”
