[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We toured Pitt with DS.  I didn't find the neighborhood gritty (Temple's area is what I would call gritty) and we thought the dorms were nice.  He didn't end up applying but I would be happy to send a kid there if I had kids with academic interests that were a good fit.  Our tour guide was a TJ graduate who planned to go to med school.

If your kid is interested in pre-med, nursing or other health professiona and you can either afford the nearly $50K price tag or have a very high stats kid, then I can see why it's an attractive rolling admissions opton.  My DS was likely to get in but unlikely to get merit aid (he was pretty close to their minimum test scores for merit at 1490/34 and he didn't have the straight As they seemed to require).[/quote]

Wow, I remember reading posts in the last 2 years for getting merit aid that were a lot less than what you’re saying (1490/34).  I guess it’s gotten a lot harder to get merit aid— which jives with what people are saying.[/quote]
