University of Pittsburgh Class of 2027 Official Discussion Thread

Thank you! Dietrich

Applied in September, got accepted in mid Oct (in-state), National merit semi-finalist with good GPA, SAT and ECs. Received full Tuition ride at other in-state college and scholarship elsewhere. But Pitt is first choice.

No news on the merit scholarship yet at Pitt. Any advise on what to expect, should we call the admissions office?

Same timeframe here. OOS. 3.96/4.5, 1560. NMSF. Have not heard anything. CS major may be the “downfall”. Appears rare for Computing school to get anything. Quite a bit going to A&S and Engineering. Disappointing. Maybe they are waiting on Computing school until all apps are in? Who knows.

No merit yet for my CS major son too.

My OOS CS daughter received her merit award a little more than a month after her acceptance, and a little less than two months after she applied.

Congrats! Appears she is in very exclusive company!

Well…she applied in late August…I think that is why she has the acceptance and merit offer already. As it gets later in the fall, I think they get swamped and take more time.

My DS applied 09/15, was accepted on 09/29 and received merit letter 10/11. I agree as the number of applications ramp up the process might be slower

Good luck!

My son applied to Pitt honors after getting accepted to Pitt. He applied on the website link. Where can he see if the applications to honors is submitted? We are not able to figure out where to check the status. Any help appreciated.

If you figure it out, we would love to know too, since my son did the same thing.
