<p>I visited Pitt this past weekend and really liked it but I am very nervous about getting in. Just wondering if anyone has a good feeling about my chances. </p>

<p>not too sure. what is your GPA on the 100 scale? did you take PSAT and if so, what was score? im only asking to get feel for what your SAT might be if you decide to take it. I think you are taken the ACT. Congrats for jumping that hurdle!!</p>

<p>it’s possible. the prep school origins should help. pretend you’re a student whose scrapping and scraping for every point on the SAT/ACT, that your entire future depends on getting a 1420/32 and then study like it. It’s a little late for a study program if you don’t already have one. After taking it in June, plan on taking it again next time, and study this summer like your future depends on a 1400/32. 15 minutes a day, EVERY day. I’ll be checking Get it and you get into Pitt, quite likely. </p>
