Chances

<p>What do you think my chances</p>

<p>GPA- 3.44</p>

<p>SAT-1840</p>

<p>I have quite a few extracurriculars, hopefully that helps.</p>

<p>i think you’ve got a shot, apply ASAP because it will give you a better chance</p>

<p>Mike would you recommend a student with similar stats to apply right away but without recommendations done? or hold out</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>GPA is good, what is your M+CR SAT? As long as it’s over 1200 it should be fine. I would apply sooner just to be on the safe side though. If you have a lot of ECs, send in a resume. Wouldn’t hurt to write up an essay and maybe get 1-2 LoR if you have the time.</p>

<p>I would hold out and try to get the recs done ASAP. The committee will start reviewing your app as soon as it’s complete: That only requires the basic app, your SAT scores, and a HS transcript. So it’s better to get EVERYTHING (letters, resume, essay, etc.) together and send it in at once to know that they see everything that you have to offer.</p>

<p>1230</p>

<p>And yea, I did all of those…</p>

<p>Pitt only cares about SAT scores. So as long as your scores are good, you’re in. And have a decent GPA. Not too low. You have a good shot.</p>

<p>I would say you have a great chance. My friend got in with scores similar to yours. Just apply soon.</p>

<p>You will get in but there a better school that are matches for you. Unless it is a financial decision to attend Pit, go to a better school - it will be worth it in the long run.</p>

<p>They asked for my first semester grades…which so far suck. Rejected I guess :(</p>

<p>The middle SAT range for students that were admitted this fall was 1200-1400 (CR+M). The average GPAs was 3.94 in 2011. </p>

<p>It is neither true that Pitt only considers SATs or that you are guaranteed to get in with your existing profile. Your GPA is on the low side and your CR+M are on the low end of the middle range so it doesn’t necessarily compensate throughly for the lowish GPA. Now, that doesn’t mean you that are not going to get in, but the request for your grades likely means they’re going to keep an eye on your progress.</p>

<p>Pitt weighs the rigor of your high school curriculum, and your performance in it, in addition to SAT and ACTs, and other factors, particularly for borderline admission decisions and for scholarship decisions. Both high school academic performance and standardized tests are important. So don’t give up, but keep plugging away. Just because they asked for your grades doesn’t mean that you are not going to get in. Just don’t slack off in school the rest of the way.</p>
