I submitted the Pitt Application yesterday and today I realized that Pitt is a Coalition school. I believe the Coalition App can give me a greater chance at scholarships due to extracurriculars and letters of rec being shown there and not on the Pitt app.
If I withdraw my Pitt Application, can I still apply to Pitt with the Coalition App?
You should call, email Pitt to ask to get the accurate answer.
The Coalition App doesn’t give you the opportunity to do anything differently compared to the Pitt app. Even though your Coalition profile includes EC’s and classes/grades, that data doesn’t appear to be uploaded to Pitt. The Pitt supplement sections in the Coalition App do not provide a means to solicit letters of recommendation or to upload any. I think it would be a major mistake to withdraw your Pitt application and then apply with the Coalition App.
@ArdBob, We do not preference one kind of application over the other, so I wouldn’t recommend withdrawing your application. Feel free to give our office a call if you would like to have a more in-depth conversation with a Pitt staffer about this: 412-624-7488.
Best,
A Pitt Admissions Staffer
