@carachel2, firstly, I would like to thank you for your kindness and patiently answer all my doubts on CC during this college application year.
Pitt is the only college that put D on honors college wait list.
Pitt’s honors wait list email asked student to fill out a form if interested in honors college and it was binding (meaning acceptance of admission to college). That is when it is not our top choice college any more even with 20k/yr merit scholarship.
