<p>Your weighted GPA is in the acceptance range and Pitzer will consider your challenging courses. SATs are also acceptable, but that is not the deciding factor as Pitzer really exerts enormous efforts in considering all factors that ensure you are a good fit for Pitzer. </p>

<p>The school has been striving to have a higher retention rate and Pitzer selectivity/ranking spike reflects their aim to admit students that would be happy attending their academic program. You really need to outline more on the 250+ hours community service with respect to what is your passion in this area, what outreach areas are your aligned with, what changes have you made to improve your community or other peoples’ lives? That is a core theme for Pitzer - students have awareness of giving back to society and communities. Be genuine!</p>
