When will kids find out if they are accepted to the honors college? DD has been accepted to Pitt, but only wants to attend the honors program

Honors is not a big deal at Pitt. Don’t send your kid if they “only want honors”.

Why would she only attend if she is in the Honors Program?

FYI, it's available to her later.

FWIW, my 1600 SAT/4.8 WGPA kid from an MCPS magnet got $15K merit from Pitt, but was not invited to the Honors Program.

It's just amazing that every DCUM parent has a kid with at least 1500 SAT/34-35 ACT and 4.0. Are they just the only ones who post?

Yes. Pitt rejects 50% of applicants but nobody knows anyone who got rejected.

I am from PA. Both of my kids were accepted to Pitt and the Honors program at the same time (October, I think).

Lol yeah. Doubt anyone would care to mention their kids scores if they were less than 1500

That's actually a pretty sad statement for DCUM parents. Not that surprising either.

You can take Honors College classes without being in the program.

My DS is a freshman at Pitt and was accepted into the honors program in the spring (accepted to Pitt in the fall). He had to write an additional essay.

Who cares about an honors college when you can just go to a selective school?

Greetings from outside the DCUM bubble.

I know this is going to come as a shock to you, but some students care about $$.

The point is that it's tough to get into the Honors Program.

I often wonder this, too. It seems that the small percentage of students with 1550 and above SAT scores all live in the DC area and their parents post on dcum …
