[quote=Anonymous]PP. My spouse and I really enjoyed Pitt. We were Western PA when we attended. It is an unpretentious school with a lot of serious students. It's also a good size. I was a bit surprised the merit offer was so low. It really took Pitt out of the running for my kid. When we were in school, we knew the kids who had the full rides and the next tier down. They weren't exactly future Nobel Prize winners, just intellectual and quirky. From what I read on this board, there are a lot of top tier applicants (including TJ kids) who apply to Pitt "in case". Some of those will get picked off and offered a full-ride Chancellor's Scholarship. But that takes until spring to find out. My impression, triangulating from my historical experience, is that these full-rides must be harder to get now. There are more National Merit Finalists at Pitt now. That is one measurable benchmark.[/quote]
