Out-of-state Applicants
The MIT program recognizes that the application process can be especially costly for out-of-state applicants. In order to accommodate the needs of these applicants, the following policies have been established:
On-Site Writing Sample
The autobiographical statement serves as a writing sample for out-of-state applicants.
On-Campus Interview
Out-of-state applicants may submit a video or audio interview in lieu of the on-campus small group interview. For specifications on tape content, format, and length, contact the MIT program Administrative Assistant at (206) 296-5759 or steevese@seattleu.edu.
Testing Requirements
WEST B
Out-of-state applicants may submit Praxis I or CBEST scores in lieu of the WEST-B.

Washington State will not allow any substitutions for the WEST-E. The WEST-E will be offered once a year (in June) in five US cities. Click here for more information. In order to accommodate the needs of out-of-state applicants, the MIT program has adopted the following policy:
For application purposes, out-of-state applicants may submit the Praxis-II in the appropriate endorsement. If applicants accept admission to the program, they must take the appropriate WEST-E during the first quarter of the program. There are a limited number of WEST-E test fee waivers that will be provided to students in this situation (subject to availability).
