<p>If my father went to Pitt and got a double E (engineering), and I apply to Pitt, would the legacy be worth anything?</p>
<p>(If if matters, my sister also got her masters and is getting her PhD at Pitt, and teaches classes there (as TA and teacher)...but I don't think this does matter lol)</p>
<p>No. Being a legacy means nothing for admissions.</p>
<p>I meant money-wise lol. But I was also wondering about admissions too.</p>
<p>Probably not either way. However, there may be individual endowed scholarships set up specifically for legacies that you could apply for. You’d have to check with Pitt to see if any such scholarships exists. Likely, you’d be automatically considered if there is some box to check on the application that alerts them about legacy your status. You really should check with Pitt itself though.</p>
<p>Probably not worth nothing, but legacies only really come into play at the most selective universities. As for scholarships, there are probably a few private small ones you have to specifically apply to that you can take advantage of but it’s not much.</p>
<p>Pitt does have a legacy scholarship that is offered by the Pitt Alumni Association, NOT the University itself. The selection criteria for this scholarship (in addition to being the child of an Alum) is as follows. Please note that in order to be considered for this award you ALSO need to be at a 1450 M/CR SAT similar to any of the Pitt scholarships. In other words, if you can qualify for merit aid at Pitt you might be able to get some additional money from this award.</p>
<p>“Incoming students that meet scholarship eligibility criteria as designated by the Office of Admissions and Financial Aid (OAFA) will automatically be sent applications for this award.”</p>
