<p>sagamont, you DEF have a chance then. my kid was just shy of the top 5 percent in a much smaller class so you are well ahead of him in that area. He too was in band!!! if you are up for retaking ACT, getting at least 34 will increase your odds even more. and congrats on a great high school career and solid test scores. Pitt is a great school so i’m glad its on your radar 
or retake SAT if that’s your stronger test and you want to retake it. i think pitt superscores so you just need to focus on bringing your lower SAT subscore up. and doublecheck with pitt as to whether they superscore. pitt uses the 1600 scale, at least they did last year, so if that’s still tehe case, you don’t need to worry about your writing score. and I would only reconsider testing if you really really want to go to pitt. </p>
