<p>I have two kids. One is PSU all the way, , the other loves Pitt. Three cousins, two of them siblings, one at Pitt, the other at PSU, the other cousin at Pitt. </p>
<p>The ratings are not so disparate that to use them as the reason to pick one school over the other, unless you absolutely are at a stalemate and could not care an iota as to which school you attend. Pick the one you would like to call home, and where you would like to live for the next 4 years. </p>
<p>All of the above family members, save one who is not yet in college, had their choice between the schools; they were accepted to both.</p>
