Do you think I'll get into University of Pittsburgh Main? Seriously panicking!

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I took my SAT twice, my 2nd score was a 1700, only 50 pts below what they like to see, although I know many that got in with 100 pts below,(one was a 1620, best score)</p>

<p>I finished my junior year off on high honor roll, 3.5 unweighted GPA I believe. I took a college in high school physics class, AP US History, AP English, and regular math. (I'm awful at math).I also took Chorus, Orchestra and French 3. And gym of course. I started the year off with a C and then a D in physics and then decided that I would NOT get into Pitt with that grade, so I worked my butt off and got an A the 3rd quarter, although I finished with a 75. My teacher wrote me a letter of reccommendation after seeing how hard I worked for that A. I also got one from my AP US History teacher, who has been teaching for 40 years and is a professor at a nearby uni. and is talking to Pitt about teaching there as well. </p>

<p>I have been a high honor student since the 9th grade.
I'm in:
National Honors Society
Interact Club (President)
Orchestra (President)
Chorus (Vice President)
SADD
Social Committee
French Club
I volunteer year round. During the summer I have volunteered at Magee Women's Hospital (this is my 4th year) and during the school year I am a tutor for kids k-2nd, as well as an ESL tutor (I can speak Arabic)
I volunteer at a local nursing home during the holidays, as well as a church.
I have sang at the Pennsylvania Music Educators Association: District 1 Choir (nominated by my choir teacher along with 1 other girl and 2 boys). </p>

<p>I ask Pitt questions, I recieved a letter granting me special status (they waived my need for an essay after I visited) I also called asking if they recieved my app (I applied about 3 weeks ago, very early!)
I am also visiting for my 2nd time this week. I live only 15 mins away, and the place I volunteer at is ON campus, so it's a walk away. my mom also works at the hospital so I get 50% off tuition. </p>

<p>Do you think I'll get in? Everyone tells me not to worry, but I've gotten 2 Cs in college classes (chem and physics) and 1 C in regular geometry (chem and geometry my sophomore year). I know since I applied early and have a lot going for me, I shouldn't worry, people said I'm basically in but I still worry because it's my first and only choice!
Thanks!</p>

<p>I think you’ll get in. A couple of C’s won’t ruin your chances (you still have a 3.5) and your SAT score probably won’t stop them from accepting you. Did they tell you if they got your application? You should hear back soon. I heard back in about 2 weeks.</p>

<p>I actually called the admissions office to ask if they got my application, and they said they did that day! Are you a current Pitt student?</p>

<p>I think you have a chance! A girl from my school got in with an SAT score of about 1750… pretty close to yours :slight_smile: Your GPA seems alright, and that letter of recommendation will be in your favor. You seem to have strong extra curricular activities as well. </p>

<p>If you don’t mind me asking, how’d you apply so early? I didn’t think you were able to apply that early… (excuse my ignorance if that is not the case…) I live an hour away from PITT and I was going to apply there as well.</p>

<p>You can apply as long as you’ve completed your junior year, because Pitt has rolling admission. Go on a campus tour and they will give you a freshman application!</p>

Did you end up getting into Pitt after all? I’m curious because I have very similar statistics along with the special status.</p>
