    I think the fact that I am OOS with a low ACT score will hurt me. What do you think?</p>

<p>What was your class rigor like? Have you taken any APs? Honors classes? I think that’s one of the more important aspects that Pitt looks at. I don’t think the OOS will hurt you, especially not as much as your ACT score. Just by test scores alone, you’d be in the bottom 25% of the students. Your ECs have the potential to bring that % up, especially the shadowing and community service. I believe your chances are 50/50, leading more towards not getting in.</p>

<p>Thanks! I took all IB classes- some classes are harder than AP, but most have the same rigor as AP</p>
