<p>I like to think that Pitt gives the more prestigious scholarships to atypical students. I received a Chancellor’s Scholarship for 2008 and I certainly don’t fit into the mold of the applied, college-bound student. The people I spoke to at the honors college and those who interviewed me weren’t concerned with my SAT scores or my paucity of APs. </p>
<p>It seems many students apply to Pitt with solid test scores, but the honors college tends toward the more unorthodox for their scholarships. Its one of the main reasons I accepted the scholarship.</p>
