<p>Being an international student is a plus in the eyes of Pitt’s admissions office. Your academic resume is unbelievable! You are def. qualified for Pitt’s campus. I would say overqualified haha. However, keep in mind that Pitt’s admissions office does not see outside of a box and can use your SAT scores against you. I doubt they will, but they often do poorly admitting students. My one dumb friend got in because of his high SATs while my one smarter friend was deferred because of his scores. The one admitted into this campus never goes to class and barely makes above a 2.0. The other one is doing fine somewhere else and has a 3.8. Pitt’s admissions reps are geniouses!</p>
