<p>Well, obviously I’m not an admissions person, much less any sort of expert, but you sure sound to me as if you have an excellent chance, even OOS. Those stats plus legacy?? I-yi-yi.</p>
<p>Your stats are nearly identical (if not better cause you have way more extracurriculars than I ever did) than what mine were when I applied last year. I was out of state and got accepted in the first round of admissions (which actually surprised me) so I’m sure you’ll have no problem doing the same.</p>
<p>I’m from about an hour outside of pittsburgh. Pitt has an accelerated high school program that I got accepted to sophomore year, so i’ve been taking classes there since then.
Worst part is the 2+ hour commute almost every day but meh =P</p>
