<p>As you can see, your scores are too low for UPitt. Those who have stats lower than those above are usually needed athletes and other special admits.</p>
<p>Very important admission factors:</p>

<p>Public schools often don’t put a lot of weight into ECs since they largely admit by stats. They will “consider” other things, but with your current scores, you don’t have a good chance. UPitt rejects over 40% of applicants.</p>
<p>Where else do you want to go to school?</p>
<p>Not the main campus. Maybe you could sneak into a Pitt regional campus with those, but that isn’t even guaranteed. You absolutely should retake your SATs/ACTs.</p>
<p>I was thinking of the University of Delaware and Rutgers. Are these good choices? And it would be great if you could list some possible school I could I apply to that I might have a chance of getting into.
Thanks</p>
<p>*BTW Cost is not a major issue and yes i am in state.</p>
<p>i was just rejected. 3.3 gpa, 25 ACT score. and better extra circulars than you. I was accepted into pitt bradford, but they don’t even have my major. i am so upset. i am going to try to appeal. </p>
<p>good luck, i hope you get in. best wishes.</p>
