Legacy

<p>Both of my grandparents attended Pitt and so did my uncle (all on the same side of the family). My grandmother actually taught at UPitt - Johnstown (my dad went to Penn state though!). </p>

<p>Anyways, does that count as legacy? and does that help me at all for honors college admissions/ grad school guarantees? </p>

<p>Also :) (lol) if i submit my application early (Sept.) with an activities r</p>

<p>I think you'll get in based on your own academic achievements alone, so I wouldn't even count on legacy to get you in. You'll get into honors by yourself.</p>

<p>I don't know about the grad school guarantee - Does Pitt do that? I haven't talked to anybody who got it.</p>

<p>thanks for the reply. </p>

<p>here's the link for the freshmen undergrad guarantees. </p>

<p>University</a> of Pittsburgh: Undergraduate Admissions & Financial Aid </p>

<p>the programs are very selective though based on the requirements.</p>

<p>When schools consider legacies, they mostly look at immediate family (parents and siblings.)</p>

<p>yeah i know that.</p>
