My S24 was not admitted to Honors at Pitt, but was admitted RD to WashU (which he chose), was offered the Monroe at William & Mary, a merit scholarship from Rochester, was also admitted to Vassar, Carleton, and Haverford, St Andrews in Scotland, and Wake Forest.
To be very blunt, I don’t think he did a great job applying for Honors at Pitt. He also originally did not get any merit from Pitt, but they did belatedly offer him a bit.
I note by reputation in my circles, Pitt can also be a bit funny about both Honors and merit in the sense they supposedly may not play those cards with kids they don’t really think are likely to yield. They do admit them, though.
