<p>Let me ask you a couple of questions:
Why Pitt? What are you planning to major in?</p>
<p>The general rule of thumb that I have heard from people trying to maximize their financial aid is to be a big fish in a little sea. In other words: apply to schools where your SAT / GPA puts you in the top 5 or 10% of the applicants. These schools WANT you to enroll because you will improve their student admittance profile.</p>
<p>1380 / 2000 while not great is still very good and I’m sure there are schools that will offer you good financial aid (perhaps even a full ride), I just don’t think Pitt is one of them.</p>
