<p>according to the common data set, “very important” factors are your GPA, standard test scores and rigor of academic record. <a href=“http://www.ir.pitt.edu/cds/documents/CDS2010-11PittsburghCampus.pdf[/url]”>http://www.ir.pitt.edu/cds/documents/CDS2010-11PittsburghCampus.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>after that, many other factors are “considered” including “applicant’s level of interest” - my take is that if you are otherwise qualified to admit based on the very important factors, whether you have visited will be less important. On the other hand, if you think you are borderline, you might want to visit. </p>

<p>Also- there are many opportunities to visit over the summer, not just a single date in August. [University</a> of Pittsburgh: Undergraduate Admissions & Financial Aid](<a href=“http://www.oafa.pitt.edu/visit.aspx]University”>http://www.oafa.pitt.edu/visit.aspx) August 5, 6, 12, 13, and 20.</p>
