Different question here…We have thoroughly enjoyed the straight forward, no games admissions process at Pitt, but daughter has ultimately decided that she will enroll elsewhere. Would like to puill her application/decline the admissions offer to free up the spot as well as the merit dollars, but can’t seem to find the right place to do that ? Where should we look ?

Hi, anyone heard of Chancellor’s fellowship? on website it says early Feb but also says should be admitted to honors program? please share your thoughts. Thank you.
If you click on the “commit to pitt” link in the document center, then press “pay your deposit” a menu comes up on the left. Click “admissions” - “accept/decline”
And decline.
yes thank you!

We were at admitted students day last Friday. At the Honors open house portion it was said Honors decisions would come out on March 1 with Chancellor’s invites to follow shortly within the same week. We were told that 60 will be invited to interview with 12-15 receiving scholarships.

Thanks for sharing, @Rachel_Weyman_Barto! That spares me a day of obsessive portal refreshing tomorrow.

Best of luck to your girl!
Did they say if honors notifications will be for everyone that applied, or only for accepted applicants?
They did not mention if notifications would go out to those not selected.

Hello everyone, I have a quick question about Pitt tuition and fees. We received the financial aid offer and are OOS. A concern I have is that while the cost for year 1 seems doable, I ran across a webpage a while ago that showed higher tuition and fees for certain colleges at Pitt. This has not been conveyed to us at all so far, through the admissions letter or aid offer. Admission is to a guaranteed program in a health field. Can anyone tell me whether the tuition and fees junior and senior years, as a result of being in the rehabilitation and health college, truly does go up by approximately $10,000 per year? If so that changes the calculus. Thanks!

thank you for the update!
Not sure if this is helpful, but I have used this site (probably the one you are referring to) for an idea of costs. Maybe contact them directly with a specific question you’re unsure of.

Thank you, so with this tool if you input continuing undergraduate, OOS, you end up with a tuition and fees figure that is in line with what we received reflected in the financial aid package. However, I think it is possible that this tool is omitting the possibility that for some colleges, junior and senior year, tuition and fees actually rise by approximately $10,000. I think I will call as this is a huge increase and also not sure why the colleges calculator doesn’t reference it, other than a general statement about how tuition varies by program etc.

You have to really dig deep to find this page that seems to substantiate the $10,000ish increase I am talking about. I wonder if this will be as much of a shock to some on this thread as it was to me for those looking at nursing and the health school. First two years with Dietrich, then $10,000ish more once you enter the major at the health college?

Hmmm, yeah are you talking about going from Dietrich at 34k OOS to school of health 43k OOS?

I thought nursing had its own school?
For nursing maybe freshmen enter that school from the start?

Yes, I think that’s true (nursing would start in nursing). I think your fees would increase if moving from one school to another, definitely, but I don’t see where it would increase by 10k during the final two years if you remain in the school that is originally chosen. But definitely ask… that would be significant.
