<p>I realize this is an old thread, but I was accepted into Pitt on January 6th and just received information saying that I was eligible for the honors college. My stats are strange, but I attended what is, arguably, one of the most rigorous boarding schools in my state. I only received a 1210 SAT (math +crit reading) and have a cumulative GPA of 3.5, but a 4.0 for the first semester of my senior year with 4 APs (my school is on a different scale and does not go above 4.0 even weighted). This alludes to the notion that the honors program makes exceptions. </p>
