Hi-
My Daughter has applied for Pitt Honors. Are the decisions pending for pitt honors and are they still ongoing by mail?
Rumor is that honors decisions will come out by email on January 12th.
Actually, Pitt says decisions will be released “on or before Jan 12.” It’s rare for decisions go out on a Sunday, so my guess is that students will hear this afternoon.
Does anyone know what time of day they released them last year - was it around 5pm?
My daughter got her acceptance email at 4:30pm, so excited!
Waitlisted. OOS, 1490 SAT, 4.6w/3.9uw, Strong ECs, engineering major.
Daughter accepted today @4:30
35ACT 4.0uw, srong EC, Biomedical Engineering major.
Do all honors decisions come out the same day/time? Nothing for DS20 yet…
Son accepted, in-state, engineering, National Merit, 4.0uw, 1490 SAT, strong ECs
Daughter accepted to Honors College. OOS, came by email but went into her promotions email box not her main one which I thought was odd. She’s 3.9 UW, 4.3 Weighted, ACT 34, main EC is dance but some others, I think her honors essays were strong.
Accept to Honors College. OOS, Arts & Sciences, 1520 SAT, 3 SAT IIs above 700, 4.0 weighted (school does not compute UW). NM Commended (state with very high SI), top public STEM magnet, strong fine arts ECs.
So excited for my kid. Only $5000/ year merit, so was not counting on this.
Son accepted to Honors. Arts and Sciences, OOS, 4.0 UW, 34 ACT, committed music and sports ECs with lots of leadership.
Thanks for the rec to check promotions folder! DS20 is in to honors
OOS
3.98 w.gpa
35 act
Poly sci
D is in for honors! In state. Engineering. 35 ACT. Lots of ECs. Very excited!
I found the decision in the spam folder in my email. In state, 1310 SAT, 32 ACT, 3.92 unweighted GPA, balanced amount of ECs but not necessarily all of them are consistent or with leadership roles. I got accepted to Pitt Honors. Major is Public and Professional Writing. I think the strongest part of my application was the short answers and essays as well as that my mom and I publish our own community magazine, which I have been writing in since Freshman year. I am really thankful for being accepted. Good luck to those who have not found out yet or to those who are wait listed. Do not lose hope because anything is possible. And even if you are not accepted into Honors College, you will be successful no matter what!
Daughter (IS) was accepted to Honors today 1460SAT, 4.5 UW GPA, Strong EC, but the essays must have made the difference. $5k scholarship
Really excited for her.
Got my acceptance to Honors today!
DD accepted to Honors. 1550 SAT, NMSF, 4.0 unweighted GPA, 13 AP’s, work experience and strong EC’s. Does anyone know if Chancellors invitations come separately or if its is part of the Honors College decision?
According to the Pitt web page, Chancellor’s invitations appear to be going out later.
Did anyone attend an Honors info session and can explain the requirements for an Honors degree designation? I read the web page, and it does still seem to be optional.
They seem to be making changes to the program compared to past years. That’s fine. I am just not super clear on what those changes will mean. Are there new requirements for the class of 2024?
Thanks for your insight.
Chancellors Invitations are separate. Interview invitations should come early February and then the interviews take place throughout March. Participants will be notified of their status no later than mid April. Visit their website and search “Chancellors Scholarship” and you can find more information there!
