[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every single post has a commenter saying ‘Pitt has rolling admissions!’, ‘Don’t be sad about getting rejected from [higher ranked school], you could always have DC apply to Pitt!’

If I wanted my child to go to Pitt, they would already have applied, but I don’t so they didn’t. What is wrong with you? [/quote]

When my first kid went through the application process in 2023, I found this bit of DCUM wisdom very helpful. It doesn't *have* to be Pitt, but the tip to find a rolling admissions school and apply early isn't a horrible one in the crap shoot of the college admissions game. I'm unclear why you seem to feel targeted. Like most things, take what works for you and leave what doesn't. No need to get you pants in a twist. [/quote]

It wasn't Pitt but that first very early admit was really great[/quote]

Why, though? [/quote]

Read the room. In this day and age it is common for kids with GPAs over 4.0 and SATs over 1400 to wind up at schools like GMU, JMU, VCU, and UMBC. And the process is so crazy-making that some strong students worry they won’t get in anywhere. Of course kids are relieved to be in early at an affordable school in the T75.[/quote]

This seems so obvious. [/quote]
