I donāt want to be cynical but getting into Honors doesnāt cost Pitt a thing. I think they use it as an enrollment enticement many times. Merit now-a-days is random.
Iāve seen top students not get either.

Pittās website reports there were approximately 7,000 applicants to the Honors College āin the most recent yearā ā which I presume means last year.

Pitt honors decisions were released yesterday.

Yes. Some schools have algorithms to predict who will accept what type of offer.
UMD is the same. You can get honors and no merit and get merit but no honors.

My OOS son was accepted to honors! His first honors acceptance. Was denied honors at Purdue and Va Tech. This might move Pitt back up the list.
Edit to add: he was also accepted to honors at OSU (Ohio State) but he already declined their offer.

Which state are you from. We too did not get VaTech Honors.
Hello, can anyone share the 2023-2024 ābillableā costs (tuition/fees/room/board) for an OOS first year in Dietrich arts and sciences? But not including books and transportation? The website is still showing 2022-2023. Weāre trying to compare with other schools.
Pitt does not set the final tuition prices until summer. This is because they have to wait for the PA legislature to set their funding and that usually happens in July. Itās a big deal every year though now that dems are controlling things it should go quicker. Last year there was a republican faction that wanted to give no funding to Pitt because the med school is doing stem cell research. Welcome to dealing with a state school.

From Pittās email of estimated costs for 23-24:
Tuition & Fees
$21,722
Housing & Meals
$13,978
Total Estimated Direct Costs $35,700
ohhh, you want OOS. Iām sorry, donāt have those.
Iāll leave this here for posterityās sake.
This is what I have down but not sure where I got it from or if itās updated. But should be close.
OOS Tuition & fees $36,000
Room & Board $13,978
Total=$49,978
Ok so I just opened our financial aid offer again just to double check our numbers and this was added since I last looked:
Cathedral Achievement Scholarship
Fall $2500
Spring $2500
So I guess this is the merit weāve been hoping/waiting for? This brings COA to $28,464 (not including student loans because those have to be paid back) which is much closer to budget goals so Pitt is a bit more realistic today than it was yesterday, although the honors waitlist could be a game-changer.
The scholarship letter is NOT in the document center as of this morning so check your financial aid letter and you might see a scholarship there if you havenāt received one yet.
Congrats to all those receiving honors invitations!
