[quote=Anonymous]I truly feel like there is a wake up call lately. My child is in a private and many kids are actively looking for state schools with merit and honors programs. These aren’t poor kids either but kids with some money that will give them zero financial assistance but paying 70K a year for possibly 8 years is insane. Why spend a ton of money on CMU when you still need money for grad school. Pitt has been very smart. It gives merit, it has rolling admissions to let some kids in that might want to be one and done so they can enjoy their senior year.  It offers immediate admissions into masters programs, it has a very fun down to earth feel to it, but their stats are growing and they are getting some great students.  It is catering to donut hole families and people appreciate that. And then you get those kind of kids there.

CMU has very rich or heavy FA kids. Similar to many LAC’s and for donut hole families, they can’t quite afford it and they don’t really fit in. Go to Pitt, excel and go to a great grad school. Or stay there too! [/quote]
