<p>Hello I just recently applied to Pittsburgh, heres my stats. let me know what you think</p>

<p>Major: Environmental Studies
Sex: Male
Race: Caucasian</p>

<p>GPA: 3.72 (9-11)
SATs- 1510/2400 (feel like thats gonna kill me)
Rank: not sure the exact number but its top 25%</p>

<p>9 Honors classes and 1 AP class. I might take the AP environmental science exam and the AP US Gov't and Politics one</p>

<p>I have 3 recommendations sent in (1 from a graduate from Pittsburgh, 1 from my graduation exit project teacher, and one from my guidance counselor)</p>

<p>I have done EC's like Varsity soccer, managed soccer, varsity club, debate club, club soccer, freshman basketball, ultimate frisbee club, student government all in school</p>

<p>Volunteered at SPCA, barack obama offices, Cancer bike ride, and my cities aging agency</p>

<p>I know my SATs will hurt but I think that I am pretty strong academically to be accepted, what do you think.</p>

<p>bump please help</p>

3

<p>I think your SAT scores put you in the borderline category. Why did you wait so late to apply? Are you a transfer?</p>

4

<p>no, see i waited so long because i got accepted into James Madison University and psu, and i was pretty sure i was gonna go to JMU. I am from PA so the more I thought about it and the money of JMU i figured I could get the same education at Pitt. I had the SAt scores sent in a long time ago and my application was done for about 3 months, but i never sent it because i figuured jmu was it, but i just hate the idea of being in 90,000 debt coming out of college.</p>

5

<p>bump, be honest, is the environmental studies program popular or hard to get into?</p>

6

<p>also i sent in 3 essays</p>

7

<p>I had similar stats but not as many EC’s and they sent me to Bradford. My major is Biomedical Engineering though.</p>

8

<p>yeah your major is tough, i also chose to start in the summer of 2009, so i dont know if that will effect it. i basically made it sound apparent that if accepted i would go to Pitt main</p>

9

<p>bump, does choosing summer 2009 help to?</p>

<p>When did you apply, Pitt operates on a rolling admissions schedule, the earlier you apply the better chance you have of getting in!</p>
