<p>TFeduardo12 - I brought my dad to Pittstart because I thought there might be useful information (he’s paying for my college). While there was some useful information about the PittPay and whatnot, overall he found it boring. I also ended up not seeing him very often. I’d suggest not bothering, personally.</p>
<p>Confounded92 - Like I said, it really seems to be hit or miss. It’s based on a lot of factors - are you an athlete, are you rooming with an athlete, are you honors, etc. I don’t think you’re 99% likely to get your first choice, but there aren’t any statistics. Based on my own observations (as I said, I saw 30+ people get their assignments at my PittStart) you aren’t extremely likely to get your first choice - maybe 40% likely. But again, that’s completely my guess, not set-in-stone. Guys seemed to be more likely to get their choices for some reason, I think because girls had the option of Holland, which very few girls actually chose (so Pitt can assign more to it rather than to Towers, etc).</p>
<p>Also, Pitt underestimated how many people needed housing this past year, so people kind of got shoved where ever they could fit them. </p>
<p>I honestly wouldn’t worry about it. Coming from someone who didn’t get their first or even second choices, I LOVED where I was put. It’s all what you make of it - and it’s a lot easier if you don’t walk into with preconceived, blanket notions of what a dorm will be like. Trust me, you’ll love where you end up!</p>
<p>Hope that kind of helped!</p>
