General Comments: I was offered admission to the Honors College in addition to my acceptance as a biology major! I most likely will not be attending Pitt, as roughly half of my high school goes to Pitt every year. It’s just too close to home. Congrats to everyone accepted though! It really is a fabulous school. Amazing city, amazing students, amazing campus. Pitt will always have a little place in my heart (so dorky, I know :stuck_out_tongue: ).</p>

<p>To those of y’all who have recieved scholarships, when did you apply? I’m nervously awaiting any notification and would like to know a general timeline.</p>

<p>Son applied in July on one of their visit Pitt days. Acceptance arrived Sept. 21 or so and scholarship letter arrived Nov. 8. Last year someone said the scholarship committee met on Fridays, I wonder if they are following that schedule this year.</p>
