<p>lfk725, we are thrilled that our son will be on board with Pitt. I am bitter/disappointed in PSU admissions as he was above the average ( they look at the numbers) and they didn’t consider our legacy (I am over it). However, Pitt viewed my son as a whole package and saw in him a well rounded kid. For that, University of Pittsburgh has my ultimate respect and we are very proud. We just need to figure out how he can get tickets for football and basketball to root for the Panthers :-)))</p>
<p>by the way, we loved Penn State when we were there. state college is a great college town and across the street you have the campus. it has a beautiful campus in all four seasons… quads, pathways, tree lined walkways… and as big as it is there is a ton of school spirit which brings the students close together. </p>
<p>i know the same will happen for my son at Pitt and he will create his own legacy !!</p>
