<p>Great story. From what I’ve read/seen, there are many people in Pitt administration who offer time and courtesy–it’s the stats that I need to get m’ grubby paws on, though (I’m not accusing anybody of dodging obligation… I’m just unsure that the info is compiled and good to go to anyone willing to ask). At one of my old schools, I couldn’t find time and courtesy anywhere outside of a half an hour sit-in in which I was given generic optimistic advice. Felt good for sure, but I must concede I was looking for something more practical than “aim for the stars” from that prof. Perhaps that’s what I got for going to a smaller liberal arts school at one point.</p>
<p>I’m an odd candidate–this will be the fourth college I’ve attended, but I’m also a couple years older than your usual student.</p>
