<p>It’s hard to figure what Pitt is looking for. There was a poster, Chrys, who was admitted to Pitt this past year with a $10,000 a year scholarship. That was great, but it seemed to me that she should have received more. She had a 33 ACT, 4.0 UW, and was NMSF. You would think that the 33 ACT converted to a 1450 SAT at least and that she would have received a full-tuition scholarship. But no. She also had a 1390/2130 SAT, so she didn’t know if Pitt had decided to use her SAT score instead of converting her ACT. I don’t think she ever got a definitive answer.</p>
<p>She ended up staying in-state (Ohio), where she is getting a good deal. I mean, there could be other factors that I don’t know about. For instance, I don’t know when she filed her application. We know that it’s important to file early for the most scholarship consideration, and the early bird gets the money.</p>
