<p>I don’t really know how competitive it is at Pitt, all I know is its probably not nearly as competitive as anything med-related, since that seems to be the biggest field there. I haven’t seen Pitt ranked absurdly high on any Comp Sci ranking charts (Those positions are mostly dominated by schools like MIT, Carnegie Mellon, Cornell, and Illinois). So I’d assume its not too horribly competitive. </p>
<p>And you seem like you have a good chance too. Again I’m just basing that off me and (to some extent) the graphs Naviance gives me (its a service my school has that graphs whose been accepted, denied, and deferred, and places them based on their GPA and SAT or ACT scores. Also has average GPAs, SATs, etc of people accepted, as well as some other information like Tuition and percent accepted, and links to these forums). So take what I say with a grain of salt xD </p>
<p>And don’t worry too much about how long it takes them to reply to your admission. My one friend applied early (I think like, September or October) and didn’t get a reply until around Mid November I think. Probably off on my months, but it took significantly longer for her to get a reply despite her applying much earlier than I did (I applied around the 20th of November). So it definitely varies. </p>
<p>Good luck, hope you get in!</p>
