<p>I have a question that hopefully someone with experience at Pitt can answer. My D had both of her 2 attempts at the SAT scores sent to Pitt last year when she took the test. Her best result was a 1410 (out of 1600)---not superscored---the second sitting was better by a little overall.. She took the ACT but didn't send the scores yet. She got a 32. Those are pretty equivalent scores. (SAT to ACT) She will retake the ACT on Sept 12th so I'm assuming the scores will be available about 3 weeks later. She hopes to do better on the ACT this time...but who knows...so she will most likely wait to send the ACT scores until she sees how she does, and send the best one.</p>
<p>OK, now for my question. I know it is best to apply to Pitt as early as possible. They already have her SAT scores. Should she wait to apply until after she finds out how she does on the second ACT? I realize she could send that in later as an update, but is it better to wait so you can have your best scores (hopefully) available at the time of applying? This is all in hopes of possibly and hopefully getting OOS scholarship money. What if it makes a difference in getting $10,000 vs full tuition (I know there are no guarantees at all of getting any money but we are hoping) In the past it looks like at this juncture she may be qualified to possibly get the $10,000, but what if she aces the next ACT and would be bumped up for consideration for full tuition? Would it be better for them to see that score at the time of getting the app in rather than having to maybe try to get them to increase the amount of money later? Once again I know there are no guarantees of money at all.</p>
<p>Thanks for any help and advice.</p>
