Am I really that far off?

I took a look at some of the stats for the already accepted students for the class of 2019 and I don’t want to discourage you but your GPA is much lower than the average which is around a 3.5. I also delved into my school’s accepted students graphs and looked at the data there, I am from MA so it will be different and my high school is one of the top in the state. But the lowest accepted from my school was around a 2.5 and the average fell around a 4.0-4.5 but also keep in mind my school’s calculation of GPA is extremely weird. I do think that the classes you are taking is very good and helpful but the only worrisome thing I think is your GPA. Your test scores aren’t bad just a little off from the average from the class of 2019. If your school offers Naviance really check that out it’s a life saver sometimes. I think that U Pitt is a reach for you maybe a lower reach but since I’m not from the PA area I don’t know what the high schools are like there and stuff. I’ve heard from people from PA that Scranton is really nice and beautiful as well as your classic Penn State which is different from U Pitt but size wise it’s similar I believe. You could also check out the other U Pitt campuses and look at those! Good luck sorry if I wasn’t much help!
