In State vs. Out of State Scholarship

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Pittsburgh

<p>I was accepted to SSOE and UHC on November 19 and subsequently accepted to the GAP for engineering, but I have yet to hear anything about a merit scholarship. I am an out of state student from South Carolina, which may be one of the lesser represented states at Pitt. I was wondering if this gives me a slight advantage for getting merit scholarships? I sent in an essay but no LORs. My brief stats:
SAT: 1460/2180
GPA: 4.98 on weighted scale (out of 5.25, I believe)
Will graduate with 7 APs, mostly honors courses for the rest
Several extracurricular activities, some community service, and completed a senior thesis</p>

<p>Pitt is my top choice, but I really need a full tuition to realistically be able to attend. Any comments would be greatly appreciated!</p>
