Congratulations! How long after your acceptance did you hear about merit?
When did you apply? That’s “awesome” news because I was concerned you needed a 33 to get aid. Congrats to you. I only hear great things about PITT and would love for my daughter to be able to visit. $15K would put it on the list for sure.
I applied in late October. I was accepted about a week ago and just got the news today! I really appreciate all the support! I really love Pitt and it is becoming an option for me!
Same for us but I’m thinking they maybe updating or doing working to the Portal,
No Worry !!!
Congratulations to you @SDSUHopefulClassof2025
Is Cathedral of Learning Achievement Scholarship for diversity?
Yes, I looked it up and it was based off of Weighted GPA, Test Scores, and Short Answer Questions. There is a page on the Pitt website that gives average stats to receive merit. This award required an A average with a couple B’s and a 1340/28 Test score. I think my 31 helped me get it.

I wrote my essays about overcoming medical issues and how although it harmed my GPA, I bounced back academically and athletically to play my sport and earn all A’s my junior year. My other one was about being a gay URM.

Does anyone know the ticket price for OOS students?
Just asking because the website leaves off room and board
I thought Pitt was around $35k for OOS. Merit would definitively seal the deal.
My mom wants me to wait for all of my admissions decisions to come in before making any decisions. I tend to agree. She is also scared of me moving OOS, which I disagree with, but in the end she has told me I can go were a want. Now having some hope for other schools to give merit $$. Pitt is one of my top choices right now.
@MAMom01810 OOS tuition and fees range from around $33K to $42K, depending on the school (nursing is the most expensive). This cost does not include room and board which again ranges, but the average is $12K.
