<p>Stats:

GPA: 4.5 W, 3.9 UW
Rank: 19 out of 500

Essays: Good enough
Teacher Recs: Didn’t send any to Pitt
Counselor Rec: Good enough
Hook (if any): If you check my bio information and the stuff above, you’ll see my “hook” is pretty dull. Maybe some athletic stuff.
Location/Person: Chicago Suburbs
State or Country: IL
School Type: Public
Ethnicity: Asian/White
Gender: Male
Other Factors: Only 20 hours of volunteer service. I figure it’s disingenuous to be a good citizen just for college admissions. It’s also no fun
General Comments: My decision on attending depends on what Stanford, Harvard, and UChicago all say (my money says “no”). Nothing is set in stone depending on who says yes. At any rate, Pitt seemed like a neat school when I was in the area, and getting in with this sort of merit based financial aid is pretty cool.</p>
