Hi!! I’m going to be a nursing major in the fall at Pitt! As far as the nursing school goes, the acceptance rate for my class was about 10% and the average SAT out of 1600 was 1350. I received a $10,000 merit scholarship. I has a 3.9 weighted GPA and a 2050 SAT and 32 ACT. Since everyone else on here is saying merit scholarships are so hard, I’m really surprised I got one. Anyway, I didn’t think my grades and scores were anything too stellar so don’t worry. You have a chance. Just make sure your SATs are good. Also, I would suggest taking the ACT if you can. It’s a little different from the SAT and I actually liked it better! Good luck!!!
