@carachel2 I agree.
Thanks everyone for sharing your info. My S got into Business School and rec’d $20k merit scholarship over 4 years - 34 ACT 3.5uw\4.1w GPA, plenty of AP and honors, private school, no ranking, in-state. My question is for all the folks that shared their merit scholarships were they “per year” or “over 4 years”? Thanks all!
@daddyGR - Most are quoting per year.
So when do we hear about chancellors interviews?
I got $20k per year but no chancellors invite 
35ACT, 4.0 UW, 4.96 W OOS
I got full tuition with no chancellors invite. 35 ACT, 108/100 W, 00S, 11 APs, 1/268 public school
@shooting4stars, In the past, invitations to interviews were sent out in the late winter/early spring. I will be happy to share more information once I have it!

I got my acceptance letter back in October with no mention of any scholarships or aid, does this mean I didn’t get anything, or does it come in a separate letter?
@College1600
It comes in a separate letter between now and March 1st. Good luck to you!
@college1600, As flashk has said - scholarship notification comes separately. Those who are selected to receive a scholarship will hear back sometime between November and March 1.
Best of luck!

Is the date of your receipt of a scholarship indicative of its value–if you hear back sooner does that mean you are more likely to receive a bigger scholarship?
@lunamir I don’t think so. I just found out on Monday and I received full tuition (OOS student). I applied October 31st as well.
can i still get at least full tuition with 3.99 uw, 34 act, and 10 aps? i feel like most ppl who got full tuition had at least a 35 act. is 34 too low?
also i received my decision mid november and still have not heard for scholarships…how long does it usually take between decision and scholarship notification? does this mean i will not receive any scholarships or not that much?
@Eeeee127 …I’m sure anything could happen. But so far everyone with a 34C ACT has received either 10K per year or 15K per year.
@carachel2 seriously 1 point can make such a huge difference??? i was very close to a 35 though, but i got a 31 in science. I have 35 superscore, so will they consider that?
@Eeeee127 --merit aid at Pitt is competitive it seems and there are no absolute rules. Some with a 34 have received the 10K and some have received 15K. No one here on these boards has received full-tuition with a 34. Quite a few with a 35 have also received 15K…and still others 20K and some full-tuition.
Pitt states they do not superscore the ACT for merit purposes.
Hang in there! I’m just a rookie observer this merit season—wish I could make the rules and hand out the $$!
Can we all cling to the thought that there might be a redistribution of wealth in April from those who received merit from Pitt but who are using it only as a back up for all of their ED and SCEA schools? Because that would be awesome!! :))
@carachel2 this girl at my school with a 4.0 gpa and 36 act already got a full ride to pitt (oos) but i dont think shes going to go and the thing is most ppl don’t make the decision until may 1 and by then its too late for colleges to redistribute scholarships
yeah shes applying to schools like harvard and she would only go to pitt if accepted into the gap program.
@Eeeee127 --the redistribution thing is a part of my pipe dream! I doubt it ever works like that. It’s a fun dream though! Hopefully she won’t take it for granted and would let the school know ASAP as soon as she decides.
