Do you guys think you can give me my chances of being accepted and receiving a full tuition scholarship at University of Pittsburgh (main campus) please?

You have a very high chance of being accepted. Your GPA and SAT scores are significantly above the medians for Pitt, and your ECs are pretty solid. You will most likely receive merit aid, but it would be impossible for me to predict exactly what your package will look like and whether or not the aid will cover your full tuition. Look into some of the merit awards offered by Pitt.
I looked into it and full tuition does not seem that hard to get (at least compared to most schools), especially for OOS kids. Hopefully i can get it. Thanks
Great chance for pitt. Like tsm714 previously stated, you seem to have a good shot at merit based aid and merit based scholarships. Good luck man I’m sure you’ll do grewt in the future.

You have a 1500 M+CR. The W score doesnt’ matter.
UPitt has gotten very difficult to predict. Another student with stats like was told that she didn’t get the full tuition award because she wasn’t top 2%.
She got half tuition award.
What was your PSAT? Sounds like you’re a possible NMF.
@mom2collegekids 230. I will most likely be a NMF, but I have already looked into colleges that offer awards for that and picked out a few to apply to as safeties (that research included looking at many of your posts, so thank you for that). However, while I will still apply to the schools that give me automatic full rides/tuition, I would prefer to go to either UNC or Pitt, but I can only do so if i get at least a full tuition scholarship.
