<p>I just got my ACT scores back and I got a 24, I know that Pitt’s range is a 25-31 but I was wondering even though I was so close (all 4 scores in the categories for me were 24s) do I still have a shot of getting in.</p>
<p>I also take college classes at the local community college and have earned 3 credits so far and will earn 3 more in the spring. I would not be considered a transfer student because I am a senior in high school, I just had the option of taking college courses since I met graduation requirements. My professor still hasn’t submitted my final grades of the fall semester but I probably would have a B or an A in that class.</p>
<p>Please reply if you know someone or have taken college classes while in high school or reply if you submitted your ACT scores and got into Pitt.</p>
<p>I both dual enrolled and submitted my score to Pitt and was offered admission.</p>
<p>What I can tell you is that, while dual enrollment courses are considered more rigorous than standard high school courses, they are not something that will make your application wonderfully unique. And, while Pitt’s score range is 25-31, a 24 puts you in the bottom quarter of all applicants. It really depends on your GPA, but this late in the process I would say that your chances are somewhat slim.</p>
<p>I’ve taken college courses at a decent (top 100 USNWR) private university and got in, but that was probably not that big of an advantage, though it shows some academic curiosity and confidence.</p>
<p>Generally unless you have some kind of tip or hook, being in the 25th percentile means that the school is a clear reach because most of those accepted at the school have higher numbers and many of those accepted in the 25th percentile will have something that makes up for the low numbers.</p>
<p>Still, if the money for the application and sending the scores is not an issue, and you want to go to Pitt, why not apply? Their app is fairly straightforward.</p>
<p>I got accepted with 30 dual enrollment credits, I’m up to 46 now counting the semester that just ended. They’ll take them if it’s from a 4year fully accredited school and if Pitt has a similar/identical class.</p>
