[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My impression is that Rochester has a much stronger reputation with better students. Pitt while well liked is more of a safety school. [/quote]

Pitt is not a safety school, dumbass.[/quote]

It was for my kid…[/quote]

4 years ago Pitt's acceptance rate was over 60%.  Now it's 49.xx%.  So it's could be someone's safety in the past, and in reality currently is very close to a safety for a high stats kid.

I agree, anyone with a 3.9+ UW, 6-8+ APs, and a 1480+ SAT can consider Pitt a safety (not a likely) but a safety, especially if you work to show demonstrated interest.

But for a 3.8 W, 1350, no it's not a safety.

it's a safety for many. Whereas Rochester is simply NOT a safety for anyone.  Rochester is a tier above Pitt...it's a better school.  But if your kid likes Pitt better then that is the "better school for them".  But overall, it's not really a debate which is a "better school".  That's like saying Harvard and UVA are similar schools.  Yes UVA is a great school, but if you compare the two, Harvard is the better school overall and 99% of people would agree[/quote]
