<p>my parents combined make about 40k a year.I'm an average student,but if i get in to pitt, how much aid do you guys think i would get a year?</p>
<p>Are you in-state or OOS?</p>
<p>OOS.that's why i would need a lot of aid : /</p>
<p>In general, OOS publics are not your best bet for need-based aid. They just don't have the large endowments that many privates have. Also, it's very very hard to predict in advance how much you'll get, from any school. Colleges determine your need, and you may get a lot less than you think you deserve. Go ahead and apply to Pitt, but make sure you have financial safeties as well that you would be happy to attend. Your own state university is usually a good bet for this. Also, apply to Pitt as early as possible! Best of luck!</p>
