[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Really liked Pitt but couldn't justify the cost, even with some merit aid. Pittsburgh is a great town and we really liked the vibe of the school. [b]I kept hearing that Pitt offers great merit aid but it sounds like they really decreased it this year. [/b]Going through the college application process this year, I was really surprised at how expensive public schools are getting for out of state students.[/quote]

I think it is getting extremely competitive and hence difficult to get merit aid.

My kid has a 36 ACT and a perfect GPA and got good, but not great merit aid from Pitt.[/quote]
Pitt’s model worked really well (attracting top students, raising the profile of the school and overall getting more out of state student $$), but apparently it’s run its course. I have a nephew who got full tuition merit 8 years ago. DS, with very similar stats got nothing last year. In the interim, we know of lots of kids in the area who had Pitt on the short list and many utlimately chose Pitt. [/quote]
