<p>Michael: apply – you won’t know unless you apply!!! My own interpretation is: Pitt will bend their “guidelines” if they want you. If you have read some of the threads on scholarships from previous years, there are always students who do not have “all” the guidelines but still received a scholarship. Of course, there are also those who have the “A” average, 1450 SAT, top 5% – who got nothing. You don’t have a chance of scholarship if you don’t apply.</p>
