Any advice for my situation?

Don’t stop now, test the waters at the top schools. Then compare financial aid packages.

I applied thinking that top schools would have money for a middle class kid since everyone talked about how generous these schools were, got into a few of the said schools, and all of them wanted me to pay full freight. I went to Pitt on full tuition.

All you have to do is make a decision by May 1. Might as well try and open up a few options before then.
