My name is Aly Cotte (she/her/hers), and I'm an Assistant Director of Admissions at Seattle University. Should you have any questions about Seattle University or the application process, please don't hesitate to schedule an interview or connect with me throughout the upcoming weeks or months.
Contact me: AlyC@seattleu.edu or (206) 296-5841
I work with students from: Southern California (Greater Los Angeles Area), Oregon (outside Greater Portland area) and Alaska.
My advice for students in the admissions process: Visit Campus! I also encourage you to ask any and all questions. You will never know if a college is a right fit for you unless you immerse yourself in the community.
My favorite Seattle-area park or natural space: I love Discovery Park! It has fun hiking and a beach area.
My favorite dinner spot in Seattle: Bai Tong Thai Street Cafe on Capitol Hill (just a few blocks from campus).

I'd love for you and your family to join us on campus for Fall Preview Day. It's a chance to connect with faculty, advisors, current students, and other folks who work to make the student experience at SU unforgettable. You'll be able to:
- Listen to academic information sessions related to your major
- Tour classrooms, residence halls, and get a more in-depth look than a regular tour
- Learn about the admissions and financial aid process
Whether you want to find out more about academic programs, explore campus and our neighborhood, or just imagine yourself as a Redhawk, you'll find sessions that fit your interests.
