My chances for UPitt??

<p>I desperately want to get into Pitt, but I don't think I can make it. I am a very smart student, but my grades have not shown as a result of me sinking into mental depression. In my 9th and 10th grade year, I sunk into a deep depression as a result of home issues, then I began to miss school, and my GPA took a serious hit- I started out at a 3.6 and ended up at about a 2.5-ouch!! My teachers all I know I am capable of so much more. I actually have a genius IQ, but as a result of my being unable to cope with issues, my future is potentially shot. If I get a bunch of letter of rec from techers, write a great essay, and maybe get my GPA to a 2.8-2.9, with a 1350-1400 SAT, could I make it into PITT??</p>

<p>I want to do Pharmacy BTW. </p>

<p>Thanks!!</p>

<p>Getting into uPitt isn’t too hard. The pharmacy program is a little tougher, though. I believe you need a 680M on your SAT to be accepted now. Maybe a 1400M/CR too. If you’re serious about the genious IQ, I would expect you to do very well on the SAT. </p>

<p>I say you’ve got a shot.</p>

<p>Why attend college if you already have a “genius IQ?”</p>

<p>Well, I mean, I’m actually very smart, not sure that I take IQ tests that seriously. I mean, I know some poeple who seem like they’re smarter than me. But I still want to go to college obviously so I can get a job and make a living.</p>

<p>Its not going to be easy, you need to really do well on your SAT’s. I was rejected from main campus as an undecided major with a 1770/2400 - 1190/1600 and a GPA that was a bit higher than yours, but if you do do good on your SAT I think you have a shot</p>

<p>Chance Back Please?</p>
