[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I haven't read about one rejection. Is this considered a back-up school? Why does everyone get in? My DD is a junior and I love the city of Pittsburgh and curious about the college. She is not a high stat student but solid B student with lots of EC's. [/quote]

It is very popular because (1) it is a good school academically, (2) nice sized city and good school spirit, (3) rolling admissions so you can have a solid acceptance early, and (4) relatively reasonable out of state cost and it gives merit aid.  The have a good honors college and give a decent number of full scholarships for really strong students.  The acceptance rate has gone down a bit but still over 50%.   Clearly there are rejections, most people don’t talk about them here.  [/quote]

they do reject people, the admissions rate is below 50% now, but nobody is going to talk about their kid getting rejected unless it's a very selective school (Ivy-tier, UVA, etc.)[/quote]

My DD applied to Pitt but I do not think she'll do well there. She has a 3.3 uw from a Bethesda public school; low rigor and a 1240 superscored SAT. A lot of community service but no other impressive ECs. I think it's a great school but not for her. I feel bad saying this but hoping for a rejection.[/quote]

With those stats she'll get rejected or sent to Greensburg or Bradford.[/quote]
