Could I get into the University of Pittsburgh?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hello everyone, I am currently a sophmore in high school and I DESPERATELY want to become a doctor. So I figured I might want to go the regular route to becoming a doctor (which would primarily begin with 4 years undergraduate school). With that being said, Pitt is my first choice for undergraduate school which I want to attend and major in BIOLOGY in. This is because of the fact that my mom is a research analyst at Pitt and I can attend that school for undergraduate entirely FREE. In terms of my freshman year in high school, I was dissapointed as I ended up with a 3.6 gpa at the end of the year. This year I am really trying to buckle down and get a 4.0....</p>

<p>My extracirriculars include:
-debate
-National Junior Honors Society
-chess club
-a sport in the near future
-UPMC passavant volunteering in the future (once my application goes through)</p>

<p>And yes I hav't taken the SATs yet but I plan to do well on them junior year (2000+)
So basically I was wondering what my chances are at Pitt as it stands now and what I can do in the future to improve my chances....</p>

<p>PS. I DONT want to do the BS/MD program</p>

<p>You’re on the right track. </p>

<p>Some schools will require you to disclose any family connections you have at the school. I wouldn’t do it if they don’t require it since no school likes to suffer a financial hit through family connections. </p>

<p>You should definitely consider more school in case your first choice turns you down, although you like fine for now as long as you follow the plan you have established.</p>

<p>A 3.6 is high enough that you could realistically get into Pitt with decent scores/ECs. That being said you are only a sophomore, calm down and come back in 1-2 years.</p>
