[quote=Anonymous][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]
My kid wanted an urban campus so that really reduces the pool of choices. When they say "love your safeties", he really loved Pitt. An early acceptance took the crazy senior year pressure off.  And lo and behold when he compared all his acceptances and offers, he ultimately chose Pitt (over higher ranked and more expensive options).[/quote]

You’re answering a question I didn’t ask though.

The statement was “that first early admit was really great though.” aka, rolling admission. Scoring an “early admit.”  [b]What is so great about having one in the bag in general? Why are so many people such a puddle of anxiety? [/b][/quote]

Tell me you haven't had a kid go throught the college application process without telling me you haven't had a kid go through the college application process. [/quote]
