[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I brought MN up to my DS and he quickly said no.  He wants South or West.  We have even been to MN a bunch of times.  So, was kind of surprised by his quick response.  It is the same as the other large state schools and is hard to get into for STEM or business.

[b]I don't get the love for Pitt.  [/b]My only thought is the cost and the distance to DC is ideal.

I went to Pitt.  So did my husband.  I really enjoyed it.  The professors were good.  Still have good memories from science classes, art history, English lit, being a psychology research assistant, choir ensemble, etc.  I indulged my love of medieval history by attending departmental talks, etc.  I had some profs that wrote notable books/were known in their field.  I found the Cathedral of Learning and Nationality Classrooms very inspiring.  As well as the Carnegie Museum and Library, etc.  I found the local students city-minded vs. sheltered suburbanites, hard-working, and appreciative of the liberal arts.  The football team was terrible at the time but that made games more fun for socializing.  I didn't care about D1 sports at all.  I like great bargains and life hacks.  Pitt worked out great for us.  We both got full-rides to high-ranked grad schools.[/quote]

Pitt is popular because it has rolling admissions. Most books and college counselors suggest a very early application to it because an acceptance means your DC can start fall of senior year with at least one acceptancw under tgeir nekt. DS did it precisely for this reason[/quote]

OK, that's true but it must be at least acceptable to you and your kid or the acceptance wouldn't be valuable.[/quote]
