<p>For those asking about trying for the Chancellor’s - you will certainly NOT get it if you do NOT apply. </p>
<p>One of D1’s friends is a Chancellor scholar. While I suspect her high school stats were pretty good, her EC’s were not that spectacular. What she presents, though, is a well-spoken individual who thinks and writes rather well. I’m sure that her essay responses are what got her in to the interview stage, not her resume.</p>
<p>As to the Cost Analysis worksheet - don’t bother filling it out until you get offers from other “comparable” schools. Do your homework, the more data (and competitive offers!) you have in comparing the NET cost of attendance for Pitt versus other peer institutions, the better chance you’ll have of getting consideration. (it’s not the scholarship dollar amount that matters, it’s the end result - your net out-of-pocket cost.)</p>
