<p>ACCEPTED!</p>

<p>GPA: UW = 3.83, W = 4.1
rank = 32/330
SAT = 1680
ACT = 25</p>

<p>Not that hard to get into, don't stress lol. I sent an essay too, but you don't technically need an activities resume or any of that stuff.</p>

<p>That is great> Do u mind me asking when u applied? Are those scores for the new SAT's ? I applied about 3 weeks ago with around the same stats and have not heard anything yet. Thanks for any hel</p>

<p>Well done Jeremy! Congrats!</p>

<p>Sweettart, have you checked the status of your app online at my.pitt.edu? You should have a Username and Password (supplied by OAFA--sent in the mail). If there's anything missing, it will tell you. (BTW it only took 4 days from the date the app status said "complete" to the date they issued the acceptance letter to my D.)</p>

<p>How do you know if they are considering you for Merit-Based Aid?</p>

<p>Pitt automatically considers every application for Merit Based aid... Check the financial aid website to see if there are any merit-scholarships that require an additional application</p>

<p>D received her acceptance to Pitt today! She is eligible for Honors College.</p>

<p>GPA: 4.0 UW 4.1 W
Did not retake SAT or ACT as senior. These scores are from junior year.

SAT: M760 V800 W640
Currently ranked 10/475
National Merit semifinalist</p>

<p>She applied on Oct 12th, but her application was not complete until Oct 23rd so it only took a week to get acceptance. We just went for visit at Pitt on the 28th and they said that they already have like 1500 more applications so far this year than this time last year, so if you want to go to Pitt get your app in ASAP.</p>

<p>Does anyone know when the merit money notifications are sent?</p>

<p>When we visited Pitt this past weekend, they said that they were going to start reviewing everyones apps and sending out notification starting Nov 1.</p>

<p>Nov 1? Are you doing early decision or something? I got my admission and merit $$ notice sometime this January.</p>

<p>Pitt doesn't have early decision. They have rolling admissions. Basically first in, first accepted. They want essays and letter of rec in by something like January at the latest, but they start looking at what they have starting in Nov. They are getting more apps this year than they did last year, so they could easily stop taking students before January, too especially in the smaller colleges like nursing.</p>
