<p>Got a letter from U Pitt today, and I'm in at the main campus!!!!! I'm on top of the world!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>Congrats! Is that your top choice?</p>
<p>I got accepted to Pitt too, although I don't think I'll go there (simply because I've lived here my whole life and would like to get out.)</p>
<p>Are you from PA/Pittsburgh?</p>
<p>Congratulations! What a nice holiday present! :)</p>

<p>Pitt is it! Good work! If you have any questions about Pitt, feel free to ask me, I am a proud alum. that is happy to help!</p>
<p>Kent State beat Pitt in the 2002 March Madness tourney, so BLAH!</p>
<p>That is all.</p>
<p>congrats, cherish the moment. I have a lot of friends who got accepted there and will attend this fall. Enjoy it, and remember, you earned it, no one else.</p>
<p>Pitt got rocked by the Utah Utes in the Fiesta Bowl last season too!</p>
<p>Wow... why is everyone bashing Pitt in the sports department?</p>
<p>Congrats!</p>
<p>And lol 311Griff that was kinda unnecessary.</p>
<p>Thanks everyone. Pitt is not my first choice, nor my safety, but an in-between match. In terms of stats, it was a match for me, but because I live in Philadelphia, PA, it was a FINANCIAL safety because of the in-state status. Truthfully, my two first choice schools are Morehouse C and U Maryland, though I am overjoyed at Pitt. Most of all, I'm glad to have a bird in hand now, and I can relax a little. But thanks everybody. </p>
<p>And on a side note,</p>
<p>Northstarmom, I really want to thank you personally. You really made this process move smoother for me. I don't know if you're aware of it or remember me from these boards, but you gave me a lot of advice. I just want to take some time to thank you. You really helped put this acceptance in my hands.</p>
<p>Now I gotta sleep.</p>

<p>Just a warning...do not use Pitt as a financial safety! Though it is instate, it is the most expensive 'public' school in Pa and I ran into problems with the outrageous tuition hikes each year. My final year I believe the hike was north of a 10% hike!</p>
<p>Might want to look into Temple for a 'true' financial safety...</p>
<p>Yes, RBase, I remember you well, and am very glad of your acceptance.</p>
<p>Now, please follow ophiolite's advice and find a real financial safety. Morehouse may not give you the aid that you need (unless you happen to be a National Achievement scholar, which probably would get you lots of aid from there) and neither may U Md.</p>
<p>Is there a public university in your city that you could apply to? Often a financial safety is an instate public university that you could commute to from home.</p>
