<p>The reason I suggested rec letters was because the OP seemed worried about a lower SAT score. I normally suggest sending them for that reason (to counter-balance a lower SAT or low GPA (but the OPs GPA is fine)) OR if the applicant is hoping to get merit aid. </p>
<p>The other reason I said the SAT might be a little low is that you can never based your likelihood of acceptance based on past years scores (although we always tend to). The trend for Pitt seems to be higher average GPAs and SATs every year, so the higher the applicants GPA/SAT, the better.</p>
<p>With that in mind, the breakdown of the SAT scores was fine, especially a 600s Math, which is a plus. (I can’t remember what the cutoff for remedial English was based on SAT, it may be 400…so I think you’re fine there too). </p>
<p><em>shrug</em> I just always suggest to people that if you really want to go, but are worried about your stats, apply early since it’s a rolling-based admission.</p>
