[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]DD got $15k from Dietrich (neuroscience). 1st in class end of jr year/1530. [/b]

DS last year got $20k from Swanson. 3rd in class, 1540. [/quote]

That does not seem like enough merit to lure away a candidate that strong from a higher ranked school. [/quote]

Agree. Our Pitt tour experience was great, but the $15k merit doesn’t make it more affordable than UVA in state.[/quote]

from our HS Pitt is for those who do not get into UVA or WM in state: the small merit is the bragging right of the parent to cover the fact they did not get in elsewhere. Auburn offers a lot of merit to VA students too, no one goes unless they do not get in uva or VT[/quote]

You can't even compare Pitt to UVA or WM or VT. Pitt's campus is in a city unlike any of these. My kid preferred Pitt's campus over UVA, WM, and VT hands down. But no one is disputing UVA's ranking. Obviously, many kids would choose it just for that reason alone, especially if in-state. But I can see kids picking Pitt over the other schools for sure.  [/quote]
