Hello,
I am a direct admit to Pitt’s nursing program. I am OOS and have heard they do not give much merit $ so I won’t know if I want to attend until they send FA stuff back (after FAFSA is submitted in Jan). I know I won’t be getting any need based aid. I have heard that to secure my spot as a nursing major, I should submit the $500 deposit ASAP, even if I’m not 100% decided on Pitt. Problem is, I’m not even 50%–I want to see how much merit aid I’ll receive before I decide. And $500 is a lot of money, and nonrefundable. Should I submit it anyway? If so, when?
