scholarships????

<p>GiantsFan18, here are my stats:</p>

<p>GPA: 4.18 W (about 3.8 UW)
ACT: 35
Rank: my school only releases quartiles, but top quartile</p>

<p>I’ve taken basically all AP and honors classes and am involved in multiple clubs, two sports (captain of one), and my local volunteer ambulance squad. I was also invited to apply for the guaranteed medical program at pitt (so many extra essays to write in addition to the chancellors ones, yikes!)</p>

<p>Hope that helps, and good luck to all of those who have not received their notification yet!</p>

<p>My acceptance letter didn’t mention anything about scholarships OR the UHC, either now or coming potentially to me in the future. Does that mean that I shouldn’t expect either one? :/</p>

<p>Thanks very much hgblue…and congrats to you:)</p>

<p>My daughter received her scholarship letter today. Full tuition. Her stats are 4.28 weighted GPA (3.9 unweighted) and 33 ACT. She is OOS. 6 AP courses and 14 accelerated courses.</p>

<p>Congrats to all! My son got full Tuition last year and we decided that graduating college debt free was a very good thing. He is very happy in his first year at Pitt.</p>

<p>yea i got invited to apply for the chancellors. dont know what chance I’ll have though seeing as i didnt even get full OOS tuition. or is chancellors for ppl who didnt already get the full OOS or IS tuition?</p>

<p>maybe i’ll just call and ask about the appeals process…i wanna go soooo bad hahaha but it costs twice as much as Purdue. darn</p>

I just looked at my son’s letters from last year and the acceptance letter was separate from the scholarship letter (they were dated Nov. 16 and Nov. 23, respectively). So I don’t think you should assume that you won’t be offered a scholarship just yet. Eligibility for the Honors College was, however, mentioned in the acceptance letter, so I don’t know what to say about that…</p>

<p>Also, I want to congratulate everyone who was offered a scholarship. These things are very competitive and you should be really proud of your achievement!</p>

<p>D was excited today to receive her Full Tuition scholarship letter and invitation to apply for Chancellor’s scholarship. She’s a 4.0 unweighted 34 ACT NMSF OOS student. Anyone know how many Chancellor’s scholarships are awarded?</p>

<p>I believe they average around 10 -15.</p>

<p>Reply to GiantsFan18: I just received my scholarship letter, I received full tuition (in-state) + invitation to apply for the Chancellor’s scholarship. Here are my stats (copypasted from the decisions thread):</p>

<p>Accepted to the College of Arts & Sciences (geology major, hoping to add another major/a couple minors in as many foreign languages as I can handle)</p>

<p>SAT: 2270 (700 Math, 800 Critical Reading, 770 Writing)
SAT II: none
GPA: 99.5/100
Rank: 4/101 (after jr. year)
Other stats: AP English Language - 5 (Currently taking AP Calc AB, AP Chemistry, AP Biology, AP English Lit, the AP Histories, the AP Governments, and AP German)
Subjective: plenty of extracurriculars, volunteer work, “leadership positions”, etc.</p>

<p>Hope this helps!</p>

<p>Looks like posts for schol letters have subsided since last week. Does that mean if you didn’t get one by now, you aren’t getting any schol money?</p>

<p>^^^^ No, it doesn’t mean that.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I am in the same boat… Hopefully thats not the case but does anyone know for sure this year if honors college invites would come with the normal acceptance letter?</p>

<p>Honor’s college acceptance came in the same letter as my daughter’s initial acceptance. About two weeks later, a more detailed package arrived.</p>

<p>I just got my letter last night. Full scholarship (OOS).</p>

<p>ACT: 30 (34 English, 31 math)
PSAT: National Achievement Scholar Semifinalist
GPA: School doesn’t release a GPA, just the transcript with letter grades, but in junior year I got As in physics, English, history, Spanish, chorus, and dance; and a B+ in math, which was a sort of pre-precalc course.
APs: I’m taking AP Spanish and AP micro this year, and all my math classes (except for junior year) were accelerated. My school doesn’t offer honors.</p>

<p>ECs: dance (student choreographer), chorus (section leader), plays and musicals, Sweet Adelines select choir member</p>

<p>I also got the email saying that the admissions committee liked my essay.</p>

<p>Just curious, what were the names of your scholarships?</p>

<p>Hey immados when did you apply? I applied November 15th and I am also a minority hoping for a scholarship.</p>

<p>I applied in the beginning of September, but I don’t think my transcript was sent until early November.</p>

<p>@hockeybear and rachelmk. My acceptance letter didn’t say anything about scholarships and I got a letter two days ago stating I was awarded $10,000 per year so don’t be discouraged</p>

<p>I’m excited! Hope I get some scholarships. 32 ACT, 3.8 UW GPA (7 APs, As in all of them), lots of leadership, research, and global volunteering experience. I am OOS.</p>

<p>I also applied for the GAP in medicine. Got the email saying they liked my essay.</p>

<p>Nervous!!!</p>
