<p>I received notice of a $10,000 merit award from Pitt last Friday. Unfortunately, I put down a deposit at my first choice school, which was significantly more expensive school, four days earlier. I had no idea Pitt would wait until this late to offer scholarships. Pitt was my #2 choice but with this money, it would have become #1. I really want to go to my #1 choice and since the deposit is already put down, my parents are going along with it, but they are pretty unhappy!</p>
