[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Common data set says Pitt considered Demonstrated Interest as "Important". I was so surprised to see this for a public school. We just found out about Pitt and the most thing we can do is attend virtual sessions (we live out West). Is there anything else we can do?[/quote]

Virtual sessions should be fine.  My son only did webinars (regular admissions and Honors college).  Parents are Pitt alums but legacy is not a factor.  We took him to visit campus at Thanksgiving break when all offices were closed and he didn't mention that in any of his essays.  We were able to schedule a tourist tour of the Cathedral of Learning Nationality Classrooms.  He was admitted.

You could write the regional admissions officer and ask if they are visiting anywhere near you.

I enjoyed attending Pitt.  Not many kids from anywhere considered the West.  But there are a lot of international people and immigrant cultural influences in Pittsburgh. It's kind of a PA/NYC/Northern NJ vibe with a bit of DMV.  [/quote]

DW is a Pitt alum, DD applied a few weeks ago and DW reached out to friends in admissions/development to give them an FYI and they stressed that DD should attend in-person tour and info session (3 different Pitt admins told her this).  Stats are 3.6 UW/3.86W, TO, DC private (not top 3), 4 APs, honors courses, varsity athlete, decent ECs.  Take from that what you will.  [/quote]
