Does anyone know what the profile of a chancellors award winner looks like At U Pitt, aside from the fact that they are already in the honors college?
Does anyone have an idea or any guesses as to when Chancellor’s is supposed to come out?
My daughter was notified that she will interview for the Chancellor Scholarship later this month. She found out late last week.
Chancellor’s decisions are out. My son received the scholarship.

May I ask how? I was also up for the scholarship and received some things in the mail regarding scholarships, but it never specifically said Chancellor. Did you get any email confirmation or letter? What was the thing that notified your son? I apologize if this is invasive.
He received an email yesterday
Thank you for telling me.
Congratulations to your son! Will he commit to Pitt?
Not sure yet. He has 3 full ride offers and a Likely letter from Columbia. It really depends on finances but he will most likely need to choose a free ride since he wants to go to medical school. We are visiting all 3 free ride schools this month. Any input on Fordham, Udel or Pitt for pre-med???

Congratulations @sparkleybarkley! Your son did well! You should be so proud! If he is going for pre-med and onto medical school, UPitt is likely his best bet (#13 best medical school per USNWR), followed by UDel and Fordham. Have fun visiting those schools and best of luck! Would love to know where he ends up going!

Thanks so much!!!
If your son got into Fordham Lincoln center I have heard that their science program is not as strong as that offered on the Rose campus. My D was offered 36k from Fordham Lincoln center but just for that reason we dropped it from our list.
Good Luck! Do drop a line after you finish visiting all 3 schools. My D is close to committing to Pitt even though our in-state choices (UVA and W&M) were a little cheaper. She prefers an urban setting over a small town.

The Pitt campus is absolutely gorgeous. For my son, it checked all the boxes.

We did a self tour back in October and we also loved it. Though it is urban but it still has a big enough campus feel to it.

Looks like my son is also choosing Pitt over UVA and Case Western. My husband is beside himself because of the prestige of UVA and Case offered nice $$. My son wants a bigger school and an urban campus. Hope to visit next week.

Congrats! Did your son get any merit from Pitt? My D got 5k though we were hoping for a little more 
No merit from Pitt, just that $5k loan they offer everyone. He was accepted into honors so was surprised that he did not receive merit.
D also got in Honors. When had he applied to Pitt? I had heard that the earlier you apply the higher chances of getting any merit. My D had applied in early Sept and heard back in Oct.
I always heard to apply super early to get the most money so we applied in September.
All of our apps were out by early December. We were accepted in January.
