Strengths
- Strong sense of community with plenty of clubs, club sports, and campus traditions

- Well-regarded programs in business, engineering, nursing, education, and service-centered fields

Things to weigh
- Admission is still selective enough that strong grades and test scores matter, even with a relatively high admit rate
- The Jesuit and faith-informed culture may feel less appealing to students looking for a more secular environment
- Spokane is not a major coastal city, so some students may find the location quieter or less urban than they want
- School spirit is a strength, but the social scene can feel very centered on campus involvement, which may not suit everyone

Is this the most accurate college admissions calculator?+
Counselly's chances calculator runs on real, current admissions data, the actual admit rates and SAT/ACT ranges colleges report to the U.S. Department of Education, not averages scraped from forums. Our algorithm weighs your GPA, test scores, and extracurricular strength against each school's admitted-student profile the way an admissions reader would begin, which makes it one of the most reliable free tools for seeing where you'll get into college.
How does the calculator predict my chances of getting in?+
It compares your academic profile to each college's real admitted class. We look at where your GPA and test scores fall within a school's 25th to 75th percentile range, combine that with the school's overall admit rate, and factor in your extracurricular strength, then translate it into a clear percentage and a Safety, Match, or Reach label. Everything recalculates instantly as you add schools or adjust your stats.
What counts as a good chance of getting into a college?+
Roughly above 60% is a Safety, you're comfortably ahead of the typical admitted student. Around 30 to 60% is a Match, realistic and worth prioritizing. Below 30% is a Reach, still absolutely worth applying to if it's a dream school. The strongest college lists balance all three, and Counselly helps you build exactly that kind of list.
