Does Pitt require that she send a score report from the college board or is Pitt willing to review them through the common app (confirmed if accept and enroll of course)? She filled out the SRAR and does not see that anything is missing in the portal, but the Pitt website seems to say they want to receive an official score report before reviewing the application.

TIA

I think it’s unrelated to the Honors program and just an incentive to attend Pitt. Our DC was also given merit aid for the grad program, but has heard nothing on merit for undergrad (which makes me nervous).

Good luck to your DC! Hope they receive good news soon!

The automatic admissions to graduate programs is based on test scores and grades. Each program is different and has different thresholds — you can look at them on Pitt website. Honors college is different and comes out in the spring. Merit aid is different from both. I don’t think they tell you about merit aid for grad school when then give the automatic admission.

Do you indicate somewhere which grad programs are of interest to you? How does Pitt know which programs to grant you “automatic admissions” to?
