UPitt priority application problem

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Pittsburgh

<p>Hey guys, I want to apply to the university of Pittsburgh and I got a priority application from them which basically means I get a decision within 3 weeks. I want to apply as soon as possible and hopefully get accepted but the problem is that my Sat score is only a 2050 and I signed up again to take it in October. Should I apply now with a 2050 or wait until after I take the October Sat? Also I want to apply to the honors college. Can I submit my October Sat score after I get it to use for the honors college application?</p>

<p>you need at 1450/1600+ SAT math and reading for honors college…i think</p>

<p>UHC Eligibility requires a 1400+ SAT (M+CR) or 32+ ACT plus top 5% of graduating class (which they are a bit more lenient about) </p>

<p>I can confirm that the 1400+ SAT requirement is somewhat subjective as well. A score in the high 1300’s plus top 5% along with strong essays & teacher recommendations can also get a student into the UHC.</p>

<p>And it hardly even matters if you do come into Pitt as UHC eligibe. If you want to take UHC classes and you are not automatically in the UHC as a first term freshman you simply need to ask the professor for permission. If you would like to live in UHC housing, again just ask for permission to apply. The auto-admit just saves you one step in the process.</p>

<p>Really? Cool, I’ll probably do that then.</p>
