No notification for the Honors College?

My son received his acceptance letter to Pitt today, and I believed he also had a very good shot at the honors program. His SAT is a 2170, or 1470 Cr + Math. He will have taken 7 AP courses by the end of 12th grade and currently has a 4.1 W GPA. His stats seem to be above average for those accepted to the honors program, and I was very surprised that his admissions letter made no mention of him being eligible to be in the honors program. Does that mean that he has no hope, or might they give out something later on? I’m beginning to wonder if perhaps the teacher recommendation letters might have played a role if he is indeed rejected from it, which I’m worried about since the 7 colleges he’ll hear back in April all require teacher recs.
