<p>You’re definitely in with a good chance for scholarship money.</p>

3

<p>I would have said there’s no doubt that you’re in, but the fact your asking makes me wonder if you should be accepted.</p>

4

<p>^This. I’d say you should be aiming higher.</p>

5

<p>^Not necessarily if she’s interested in scholarships - possibly a full tuition one.</p>

<p>Thank you all for your input!</p>

<p>In this day and age college admissions are so competitive that I feel the need to have a wide variety of options. Pitt is obviously a fantastic school that I would be thrilled to be accepted to, especially if some of my more competitive options fall through.</p>

<p>Agree w/ southeastmom. Definitely apply EARLY (summer if you can) and you might get some scholarship money too.</p>

8

<p>Apply early and you have a nice chance at a full scholarship. Pitt wants more OOS students so being from MD (like we are) does help.</p>
