- Three years ago, my in-state D1 received a $2K scholarship with a 1430/2150 SAT, 4.0UW/4.6W GPA, 7 AP’s (AP Scholar with Distinction as well), 12 honors classes and all the EC’s. (By the way, the $2K in-state is the equivalent to the scholarship of $10K for OOS) She was a conditional pharmacy admittee and is now in her P2 year at the School of Pharmacy. Since then, from observations primarily on CC, the threshhold for merit aid has been creeping upward. That’s why I said that you are on the ragged edge for merit aid. I’m not trying to belittle your excellent academic statistics. Pitt is making a deliberate effort to increase SAT averages and increase their OOS student population and (again, mostly from reading CC posts) it also appears that OOS students have a better chance at merit aid then IS students.
- Pitt considers your first two years of pharmacy school (years P1 & P2) to be at the undergrad level. Accordingly, if you have the three year housing guarantee, you are guaranteed housing on campus for your first three years, whether you are in the Pharmacy school or still in “undergrad.” (D1 was in campus housing for her first three years.)
- I believe that housing is allocated on a lottery system, so your chances of getting and staying in a room in Towers C is somewhat dependent on what your lottery number is. I’m not sure if that’s considered a SLO or not. Sometimes that has an effect on your housing choices as well. Usually SLO members get early selection of housing.</p>
