Wow! Congratulations

Woo hoo! Congratulations to her. Four years of awesome in store.
My daughter also admitted, she wants to go but the admittance letter she felt nothing. UPITT is EXPENSIVE for OOS. They are cutting back big on OOS Merit this year, going more Need Based. So unless we see merit aid she cant go.
It is not like prior years where they handed out tons of merit aid to OOS.
Is it, though? I get that cost is all relative to what you can afford, but compared to others:
Pitt OOS- $44K
UVA OOS- $66K
UMD-$53K
U Mich- $67K
U Wisconsin- $55K
UNC- $52K
Rutgers-$59K
+1. Especially if your premed or health sciences, pitt is incredible.
You missed the point. Those are full-pay prices. Pitt has become stingy with merit. My daughter is at OSU for just over half of what Pitt wanted. Love Pitt (and so did she) but they don’t discount but for a tiny group of their best applicants.

You should hear back soon. Pitt is known for fast decisions. Yes, admission and scholarship decisions are made separately.
How long after admission does Pitt send out financial aid/scholarship decisions?

I loved Pitt too. My dtr ended up Tufts ED, but Pitt did match VT tuition. With the overcrowding situation at VT, I encourage anyone interested in VT to consider Pitt. I also think it’s easier to access mass transit to get home.
