University of Pittsburgh

<p>my gpa from 9-11 grade is 3.85 but im worried about my sat scores
math - 550
critical reading - 540
writing - 660
if my scores aren't good enough could i still have a chance with my grades and gpa?
my dad works as an I.T. for pitt, does that help my chances?
and if i apply early decision does that help? I don't think I am going to take the sats again but i am looking into the acts. I get mostly all A's and am going to get some good letters of recommendation. I am in some school clubs and captain of my soccer teams. For my senior year i am also taking an AP class. I have my heart set on Pitt and want to make sure I can get in!</p>

<p>How many APs have you taken?</p>

<p>Get that SAT score up by about 200 points or do well on the ACT, and you’ll be set. As of right now, your scores are a bit low, but your GPA is fine. Also, try to take AP classes/tough classes next year. If you really like Pitt, but you can’t get in, consider applying to one of the branch campuses and transferring in after a year. A friend of mine is doing that right now.</p>

<p>i have not taken any APs besides the one im going to take my senior year</p>

<p>Most likely acceptance.</p>
