<p>I’m the one that start the original Update thread. My friend’s daughter did not retake the SATs. She did change her major to Arts and Science. She received a second letter from Pitt telling her that she was being deferred. Needless to say, she is devasted but not enough to retake the SATs. She is writing an additional essay and will send in her mid-year grades (which are excellent) but she is not interested in retaking the SATs. Since she got acceptances at two other schools already and is waiting to hear from a third (her second choice after Pitt) she probably won’t be too disappointed if Pitt doesn’t accept here because now she takes the attitude that “if they don’t want me I don’t want them”.</p>
