Has anyone else's child been waiting more than three weeks to hear from Pitt? It's been about 3.5 weeks since DC applied, and all materials are in place, they can access the portal, etc. But no decision yet. DC has pretty strong stats (3.9UW, 4.7 W, 33 ACT) so we had hoped for an acceptance.

No. My kid received a merit scholarship and has not yet applied for Pitt Honors. Does anyone know if additional scholarships are available if also admitted to the Honors College?

Applied early October; Got acceptance after two weeks and scholarship money after another two weeks.


We're at 2 weeks post acceptance but no word on $$. Does notification come via the portal or snail mail?


Received email notifying new document in the portal; actual letter is in the portal.


Also accepted today by Penn State.


Which is better Pitt or Penn State?

Thanks! Nice to have one acceptance - makes it much less stressful to wait for others to come in.


Congrats. My DD went to visit in October and was impressed. Said the people were very friendly and the campus was nice. The area off not so much… But that’s nothing that hasn’t been discussed on this forum. Apparently an awesome school. Stupid question, but did they email you or did you just happen to check your portal on your own?

Ugh. I have a feeling that is going to happen to my DD. Did your DC submit scores? Mine did not and her GPA is 3.3. Good extracurriculars, etc.


Very similar. Submitted ACT 29


29 is very good. We didn’t submit SAT or ACT. Indiana is becoming very popular. DD also applied to LSU and waiting. Not hopeful after seeing this deferral. Your kid will get in some good schools with 29!


Thank you, that’s kind. I feel like the whole process is such a crapshoot. Hope your daughter gets into Indiana! It’s a great school. My DC is looking at Auburn, Clemson, GA(big reach), Penn State, Ohio State, TN, and Boulder. Who knows how it will all shake out? Good luck to your daughter and all of the Seniors- it’s a stressful time.


I like the positive vibes in this thread. With DCUM you never know. Thanks for the well wishes. We have a senior and are
Confident about some schools and nervous about others. Good luck everyone!

Yay! Congrats. DD waiting on PSU. She applied last week. Your DC has amazing stats so I’m not surprised. My DD’s are much different and she didn’t submit scores.
