<p>Probably a branch school. Pitt Bradford seems appropriate.</p>

<p>^hardly. </p>

<p>You’ll be in at main easily. Get your ACT score up slightly and you’ll be fine.</p>

<p>

Oh really? Why is that?</p>

<p>Personally, I think you should have no problem getting into main campus. Early application is supposed to help with that, too.</p>

<p>I am not an expert at this but it seems to me that your chances are excellent. lfk725 is correct…get your app in early September too.</p>

<p>I think it may depend on you major/school you are applying to. My D was accepted in to Art and Sciences with very similar stats. Engineering, Nursing, Pre-med, Business are more competitive. Still I think yours chances are excellent. Try to attend a “Ready Set Pitt” session in the summer. You can submit you application during your visit and they waive the application fee. It’s also a great program, my D acceptance came in the mail by early October.</p>

<p>What is your unweighted GPA? As long as you bring up your ACT score a little I think you’re fine getting into Pitt Main</p>
