Sure but they do flat out reject early in the process as well. There have been rejections already this year.

I hope you are wrong.

My kid has a 1230 SAT; weighted GPA 3.7 and I hope she gets rejected from Pitt. I think she’ll do better in a smaller school.


Fwiw, my dd started at a smaller school and did not like it. She transferred to Pitt and except for some intro classes for gen ed requirements (Pitt has more than her previous school), most of her classes are small. She knows her professors and often goes to office hours. She has several professors she feels she can ask for references for jobs or eventual grad school applications. Even after one semester last year, she had professors she could get references from. Also, the number of courses available is much different. She was shocked at the number of choices. A large school certainly is not for everyone but she feels Pitt is different. I went to a Big 10 school and Pitt has about half the number of students. Good luck to your dd wherever she goes but if she gets into Pitt, it is worth comparing to other schools.


Students can do all that from any schools though. Is Pitt any different than Big 10 you attended?

11,500 people were rejected during the last cycle.

I think a Pitt rejection looks more like an acceptance with a very small offer of merit aid.

Yes, it happens and I also know a kid from last year that was admitted to a different campus than the main one in Pittsburgh.
