The other two Pitt campuses I saw listed were ranked #46 and #70 respectively. Pitt Greensburg has a new program. All of those options would cost us significantly more, have much lower overall quality ratings, and have lower National board test pass rates. So right now Waynesburg is the #1 choice. They told us they would let us know before mid Sept if he gets accepted or not, so rather than waste a lot of time and energy we are just waiting on that result first. If he doesn’t get in, I’m sure my son will be throwing out a very wide net (including the schools you mentioned) to get into whatever programs he can, then make a final decision. He is not interested in other majors so all CA schools effectively out of the picture. There are probably 10 or more programs that he could get into, in PA. Since he is really set on Waynesburg I am not going to ask too many more questions from them. But if he doesn’t get in there, we will need to research everything more closely, including the overall graduation rate.
