[quote=Anonymous]Assuming you are talking just about merit (not need-based) aid, I would not expect much from Pitt. My class of 23 kid got $5000 merit offer from Dietrich. 1460 SAT, had taken 6 AP tests by end of junior year (one 5, one 3 and four 4s), 4.0 UW GPA from MCPS, and ultimately was admitted into Pitt Honors college, although ended up going elsewhere. Based on reviewing message boards at the time, most OOS merit awards were in the $5,000-$10,000 range except for kids with truly extraordinary stats (which I didn't consider mine to have). But even with just a $5,000 award, Pitt would have been substantially cheaper than most privates and some of the more expensive publics (like OOS at U-Va or Michigan) The good news with Pitt that if you get your application in by early September, you will hear about admission and merit offer pretty quickly.
