<p>That's all I can think of off the top of my head. Thanks for any feedback!</p>
<p>There’s two important factors you didn’t tell us</p>
<p>1) Gender
2) Ethnicity</p>
<p>Both of those affect whether or not you could get scholarship money from Pitt or SSOE. With your stats, I would expect something, but it really depends on a lot of weird factors like the ones above, and even how many other people from your school applied.</p>
<p>White male…probably the worst combination. A decent amount of people are, but as far as I know only one or two will have a higher class rank than me but I definitely have the highest test score. </p>
<p>Not sure about that Dreamer - more females go to college than males and they get better grades in high school. It really depends on the field. In the hard sciences and engineering, the female applicant has an advantage. For everything else, I would give the male a slight edge.</p>
<p>people with 35 ACT’s got scholarships last year. did you forward that updated info to pitt?? psat score will not matter… would not hurt to send them SAT as well due to your 790M. not to mention send in the SAT II tests. your chances actually look pretty good to me but awesome is/was a student there so she knows the scores of actual students and she is way more up on any and all Pitt things so take her advice over mine on this one. can u send the SAT scores/SAT II scores on same fee to college board? As to how much, i have no idea. 5K per year to full tuition is my best guess and i have no idea where you will land. </p>
<p>i still suggest teh SAT’s as well due to the M score of 790. Since pitt consistenly states they supersore, they should no consider your CR score at all, assuming the CR eqivalent on the ACT was higher. and with a ACT score of 35, odds are great your language arts ACT subtests are higher than the 650 CR. </p>
<p>I agree with @ctl987, unless your ACT math score is a 36, definitely send the SAT scores. An admissions person told us when we visited that Pitt superscores across equivalent SAT/ACT sections. This has also been confirmed in several posts by an admissions person who regularly posts on CC.</p>
<p>and also confirmed by my email correspodence with an admissions counselor last year. she and i exchanged a number of emails because I had a fair amount of questions, including on test scores for scholarship contenders/ </p>
