<p>For what it’s worth, my daughter did not want to attend Pitt. She wanted to go to an Ivy, but it was not in the cards for her. So she reluctantly chose Pitt’s Honors College, with a full tuition scholarship. Today she is graduating from the Swanson school of Engineering, with a Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering with minors of Electrical Engineering and French. She had a multitude of worthwhile experiences during her four years at Pitt, which culminated in her receiving a Fulbright to earn her Master’s in Denmark.</p>
<p>When she called us to tell us she was awarded the Fulbright, I told her I was so glad she had not gone to (the competing Ivy), and she agreed. She would have never been able to compete for a Fulbright there.</p>
<p>Ohio State is another good school.</p>
<p>I would set my sites on Carnegie Mellon for grad school instead.</p>
