<p>That is correct (Pitt Admissions staffer, here). You are not accepted into the Honors College, but if you receive a letter of admissions, it will tell you whether you are eligible to participate in Honors classes. For students who don’t meet the eligibility requirements as incoming freshmen, you also have the option to participate in the Honors College after two terms at Pitt if you maintain a specific GPA.
