<p>So I was accepted to SSOE about a month ago. I didn't hear anything about UHC and was wondering whether I should give up hope to expect any money.
SAT: 1410/2110
SATII: chem: 750 Math 2: 750
GPA: 3.5 UW 4.0 W
Rigorous course load. competitive school.
5 APs the rest honors
very involved in music program.
good ECs
sent in two recs and an essay.
should I expect to get anything or should I just give up hope. I heard that I was eligible for UHC from my SAT score but it was not on my acceptance letter. I would like to go to Pitt but unless I get some money I don't think my parents will go for it.</p>

<p>UHC is 1400 M+CR plus top 5% of your graduating class (if your school ranks) although this can sometimes not be a deciding factor. Really the only thing is does is let you apply for UHC housing and UHC classes <em>without asking for permission first</em>. After your first term, if you have above a 3.25 QPA you are automatically UHC eligible for everything.</p>

<p>The scholarship committee only meets once a week (I think Fridays unless that has changed). While you have good states, you don’t have GREAT stats (i.e. super high SAT/GPA etc.) You also don’t mention IS/OOS. It seems Pitt tends to give more money to OOS students, although SSOE is a little different. Keep in mind that the deadline for even accepting applications for scholarships isn’t until mid-January. It may take you until March or later to hear about money.</p>
