<p>Hi</p>
<p>Ive recently gotten an acceptance letter to Upitt Bradford (branch campus) but, I really want to go to Oakland (Main Campus). At the timewhen i sent my application i didn't send an essay and sent only 1 recommendation letter because i was swamped in
things to do. Over the past week I've sent my well written essay to the admissions office and 2 more recommendation
providers one of them being a Doctor.
Do you think the admissions office will accept me to the main campus now that my application is fully credible?
PLEASE ANSWER! Thank you!!
Ps. I have a 3.65 GPA ranked in the 25th percentile of my class</p>
<p>PSS. Should i email the admissions office due to the fact that my senior year i've been involved in exclusive academic competitions, clubs, and community service. Will they be fond of such things?</p>
<p>NO. You had to get your application in on time.
You could certainly email the admission office detailing your extra curricular activities, especially if they’re good, but the point is: you should have done that when you applied. Odds are, slots for the class of 2018 are all filled now.</p>
<p>They’ve offered me a full ride scholarship to Bradford with a major in Biology if i were to go would the best option be transfer from there? Also is it even possible to be accepted back to Oakland since they have rolling admissions and if say… the slots weren’t filled for 2018?</p>
<p>No harm in asking but don’t expect much. Don’t tell them you were “swamped in things to do” when you applied because they wont care - applying to college should have been at the top of your priority list. </p>
<p>@Etuck24 and @MYOS1634 How does one go about messaging the admissions office? For this type of situation would it be best for calling them or simply an email?..If i make it clear that my essay is strong and my other 2 recommendations are worthwhile would they give me a second look?</p>
<p>Would you be willing to give up your scholarship? Would Pitt main campus be affortable to you without much financial aid? Talk with your parents…
You could appeal with your essay and letters of recommendation, adding mid year grades, saying you got a full ride scholarship to Bradford (for which you’re very thankful) but you’d rather attend Pitt Main Campus, are there slots available there?</p>
<p>Be aware that your odds are very low so go visit Bradford.</p>
<p>Do you have other choices?</p>
<p>@MYOS1634 Thanks for the feedback ! i do have other options such as being accepted to Penn State and Drexel University, but Pittsburgh Oakland (“Main Campus”) has always been one of my top choices because of its renowned name in research. The Bradford campus doesn’t act as a separate university…is it really not possible for the scholarship to be transfer over?</p>
<p>No the scholarship won’t transfer. It’s been given to entice you into attending the Bradford branch. Going to to Pitt (main) would mean losing that scholarship.
How much will Penn state and Drexel cost?
If you spend 2 years at Bradford, you’ll finish the last two years at Oakland, right? Would that be worth it for you?</p>
<p>You got into PSU main? Shoot, id take that and run with it compared to Drexel and a Pitt branch, to be quite honest.</p>
