<p>Although students with similar stats have received full scholarships, please don’t assume it will be automatic. It is hard to say what Pitt will be looking for this year and we have had students with great stats not getting full scholarship offers. I have seen many threads where scholarship offers are “expected” and when it doesn’t come – it isn’t pretty to read the postings (especially from the parents!).</p>
<p>MTnest is 100 percent correct. At one information session, a Pitt administrator said that a 1450 combined math and critical reading score was the minimum necessary for a full scholarship. But that’s not written down anywhere, and I think Pitt is reserving the right to pick and choose among applicants. </p>
<p>The good thing is, if you apply by a decent time, you should know in mid-December if you got the scholarship or not. That is assuming that Pitt is doing things this year the same it has done in the past, which might be a big assumption. Like the OP, my daughter also had a 2220 SAT and was given the scholarship. Her breakdown was 800CR, 680M, and 740W. But that was two years ago.</p>
<p>Don’t count on anything. A few years ago, my son had excellent credentials in the range of those above, applied in the fall, and got barely any merit money. Go figure.</p>
