Pitt is well known as a college where early applicants are more likely to get merit aid…and better merit aid than later applicants.

But Pitt is a rolling admissions school and that’s how such schools operate. But we are discussing the benefits of applying early to non-rolling admissions schools. My understanding is that apps aren’t even read at all before the application deadline. Perhaps @Mwfan1921 can opine.
