[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you for the detailed info about both schools. We are early in the process - we have a 10th grader interested in science or engineering. Besides chemical engineering are there any other strengths ? How do they help students with internships/co-ops/ grad school options/career planning etc? Thanks! [/quote]

Hi - I'm the Pitt grad who wrote the long posts a few pages back.  Since I'm a Gen X parent, and my family did not study in the Engineering college, I'm not able to comment thoroughly from personal experience.  Below are the Pitt links that would best get you started (in rough order of relevance):

https://www.engineering.pitt.edu/student/programs/coop/coop/

https://www.engineering.pitt.edu/student/programs/Global/GEE-Home/

https://www.frederickhonors.pitt.edu/academics/academic-advising

https://www.undergradstudies.pitt.edu/research-opportunities/undergraduate-research

https://www.studentaffairs.pitt.edu/career-center

To go deeper, make posts on Pitt's Reddit, watch YouTube of students, ask people who have kids at Pitt right now.  If you make a campus visit, ask in advance if you can arrange a meeting with an engineering undergrad.

If PSATs are 97th percentile or above, check on what is going on with the Honors College.  It is best suited for people that have their own special areas of academic interest they want to research/study more about in college.  Admission webinars start in the late summer.  Your child can certainly attend as a junior.[/quote]
