We spent a day and a half at the University of Pittsburgh, including the Admitted Students Day yesterday and other than one presentation came away very impressed. As said several times above, the Honors College presentation was very poor,. We attended the 4/8 session. They need to do a better job of having someone that can clearly articulate the program and the benefits of the UHC. It was a rambling, confusing, convoluted discussion. The session was very crowded, maybe 25 or 30 people total. You could look around the room and see that people were tuning out or confused. Unfortunate.
Certainly wont be a factor in my D final decision, especially because everything else was a positive, but it is certainly an area that could easily be improved.
I thought the University did a great job yesterday with the Admitted Students program. We had not visited Pitt before, however my daughter was very impressed and it is now in her top 2.
