ACT 27
Rank. . . about 15 out of 400

<p>Do you have a major picked out?</p>
<p>Yep, I chose Molecular Biology/Biochemistry</p>
<p>My daughter is interested in molecular bio. Does Pitt have any special programs in that area? When she looked at Ohio State, they offer a Bioscience Scholars program, where bioscience majors can live in the same dorm, have outside speakers, etc.</p>
<p>Pitt has been her #1 choice, but she hasn’t sent in her acceptance yet.</p>
<p>Have you visited the campus?</p>
<p>I’m not sure of any special programs especially for biology, but of course there’s excellent medical center to draw from as far as opportunities go, and the regular honors housing. I haven’t visited the campus yet, I’ll probably wait and see how things turn out in the next few weeks first.</p>

<p>wow, like any of you would get rejected.</p>
<p>yeah seriously, my siblings got in with like 3.3’s and 1050’s</p>
<p>Jethro: Standards have increased at Pitt greatly in the past 5 years or so…so your siblings with lower scores would have a greater chance then than now. I was accepted 6-years ago with a 2.9 (UW) and 1120 SAT from a top high school in central PA, today I’d have slim to none chance!</p>
<p>actually thats not true at all ophiolite. At my high school (just north of pittsburgh) there are a ton of kids getting accepted with the same type of stats. I have a friend with a 3.2 and a 1120 SAT who got in, and he didnt have a ton of EC’s. It might just be my high school though because its pretty competitive</p>
<p>A lot may have to do with when you send in your application since they are on rolling admissions. Also, since you are closer to Pittsburgh, you may have a slight advantage as well. The strength of your school is probably similar to that of my alma matter…I went to the consistent #1/2 school in Lancaster County and my year sent 40 students to Pitt (many more got in…those are the ones who enrolled). However, regardlesss, the standards have risen over the years, trust me on that one!</p>
<p>;) ok I will</p>
<p>what about me…I have a 1150 with a 3.7 GPA at this competitive school. I like the urban settings, such as the University of Cincinnati, where I love the campus, but what do you think are my chances at the marketing program at Pitt</p>
