[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pitt seems like a huge safety school in this group. Does anyone have a child actually attend? What do they think? Any merit money or in the honors program?[/quote]

Pitt's yield rate is around 21%. So yes, 21% actually go to Pitt.[/quote]

That's incredibly low[/quote]

It's not Ivy League, but seems on par with other colleges.

According to a handout given to the parents of seniors last month at our FCPS high school, 68 students in the 2022 graduating class (of our high school) applied to Pitt and 53 were accepted.  Of those 53, however, only two chose to actually enroll at Pitt.  Perhaps that was an aberration, but that is an incredibly low yield rate. [/quote]
Pitt is used as a safety school for DCUMers. The school itself appeals to lots of kids. The rolling admissions makes it very easy to apply. (At least in the past) Pitt loves to award big merit $$ to very top students and not much if anything to the rest. So that means a lot of kids accepted need to pay full price. Thus, other colleges ultimately out rank Pitt on the DMV kids' lists, for a variety of reasons. [/quote]
