Anyone know how long they typically take to make an admissions decision? DS applied 3 weeks ago. Also do they make admission and scholarship decisions separately?
TIA

You should hear back soon. Pitt is known for fast decisions. Yes, admission and scholarship decisions are made separately.

I loved Pitt too. My dtr ended up Tufts ED, but Pitt did match VT tuition. With the overcrowding situation at VT, I encourage anyone interested in VT to consider Pitt. I also think it’s easier to access mass transit to get home.

My daughter also admitted, she wants to go but the admittance letter she felt nothing. UPITT is EXPENSIVE for OOS. They are cutting back big on OOS Merit this year, going more Need Based. So unless we see merit aid she cant go.

It is not like prior years where they handed out tons of merit aid to OOS.

How long after admission does Pitt send out financial aid/scholarship decisions?

Is it, though? I get that cost is all relative to what you can afford, but compared to others:
Pitt OOS- $44K
UVA OOS- $66K
UMD-$53K
U Mich- $67K
U Wisconsin- $55K
UNC- $52K
Rutgers-$59K

I don’t think merit aid was reduced this year over last year. My kid got $20K/year and the admissions rep on CC said there weren’t any changes this year.

Friend’s kid attends (junior engineering) and loves it!

You missed the point. Those are full-pay prices. Pitt has become stingy with merit. My daughter is at OSU for just over half of what Pitt wanted. Love Pitt (and so did she) but they don’t discount but for a tiny group of their best applicants.
