| The kids getting $10k seems not that far apart from the kids getting $15k. I wonder what their cutoff is? They all seem like really excellent students. |

Maybe test scores because grades are identical. 1500/35 plus for 15,000? |

| 1500 is equivalent to 34 so I would guess the cutoff is probably around 1540/35 |

| These awards seem low. Not enough to bring it to in-state tuition. |

Pitt gets more popular every year, and the merit awards decrease. |
