Official Class of 2014 Pitt Decisions Thread

<p>Just kidding…just read the terms that came with the scholarship letter and it says if you finish your undergraduate term in less than 8 terms you forfeit the remaining scholarship.</p>

<p>I think that means that if you graduate early, you don’t get to keep the extra money. But it’s an important issue, and you should call OAFA and ask.</p>

<p>My D was accepted in early October to College of Arts & Sciences with conditional acceptance in the Masters of Education Program. Also accepted into the Honors College.
Here are her stats:</p>

• ACT: 32<br>
• GPA: 102.9 (I think)
• Rank: 8th out of 585
• Other stats: 10 APs total HS years – most other classes are Honors
Subjective:
• Essays: Very Good
• Teacher Recs: Excellent
• Counselor Rec: Excellent
• Hook (if any):
Location/Person:
• State or Country: NJ
• School Type: Public
• Ethnicity: White
• Gender: F
Received $10,000 Merit Scholarship in March…sent in deposit yesterday!!!
Can’t wait for Honors Day Programs.</p>

<p>To answer my own question: it is good for all 4 years. I asked yesterday when I was revisiting pitt. For any conditional acceptance pharmacy majors, the scholarship is good for the 2 prepharm and the first two professional years.</p>

<p>Thanks pinknpreppy216. We’re visiting 3/26-we never saw any of the Phamacy school at out summer visit. My d has narrowed it down to 4 schools, and PITT sounds like the best choice.</p>

<p>Just got my $10,000 OOS scholarship in the mail! I’m really considering uPitt now :)</p>

<p>Did Pitt send out the official financial aid packages yet?</p>

<p>General Comments:</p>

<p>At first they told me to send in mid year grades. This is because I did poorly during junior year ( I got mostly C’s and an F in Physics). I sent in 1st quarter grades and got no response and got a response a few weeks after I sent in my mid year grades! My mid year grades were quite good – all As and two Bs in AP and honors classes. YAY PITT!</p>

<p>I got my financial aid package today in MA, lkf725.</p>

<p>pinknpreppy216-when did you complete fafsa and were you pleased with package based on your calculated efc?</p>

<p>Got Financial Aid package today also. Full Tuition plus Stafford Loan. Very happy. DS looking forward to Honors Day this week.</p>

<p>That’s wonderful! Congrats to your son!</p>

<p>alantill: My mom completed it shortly after it was available online I believe (around January 1st). I didn’t expect to receive any financial aid with my EFC and scholarship award, but I was given a Stafford loan.</p>

<p>For the two responses with stafford loans, were the subsidized or unsubsidized?</p>

<p>I thought EVERYBODY was eligible for a Stafford loan regardless of EFC. Isn’t that actually a Federal loan guarantee program?</p>

<p>Yes I believe that everyone gets the Stafford. Interest rate just depends on if subsidized or non subsidized.</p>

<p>Based on my EFC and the full tuition scholarship mine was unsubsidized.</p>
