<p>I was accepted a few weeks ago, but didn’t receive any scholarship information.
I have a 3.5 unweighted gpa, 3.8 weighted, and 1940 composite SAT score. I’m out of state, but I would qualify for something right?
But the thing is, I only submitted my transcript & sat scores to them. I intended to submit my essays too, but I received an acceptance before I could submit them.<br>
What all information do applicants have to submit for scholarship money?</p>
<p>I’m sure someone will weigh in besides me, but from what i understand scholarships at Pitt are VERY competitive…so while you have good stats and are clearly a solid candidate, I would be surprised if you were to get scholarship money.</p>
<p>Just to get admitted to honors usually requires 3.8+ and CR/Math of around 1390+, and not everyone who is admitted to honors gets scholarship money.</p>
<p>But, someone else may have more hopeful advice for you.</p>
<p>If you need merit for sure, you might want to broaden your search.</p>
<p>What’s your CR and M SAT? If they add up to 1450 or above, you have a chance at a scholarship. (Pitt doesn’t count the writing portion.)</p>
<p>If I remember correctly my son’s acceptance letter last year included Honor’s College invitation and something about scholarship info to follow.</p>
<p>Essays <em>are</em> required for scholarship consideration. But as others have pointed out, your stats are probably not competitive enough regardless–and Pitt tends to be rather numbers-driven when it comes to these things. Such scholarships are very hard to get and the competition increases every year…</p>
<p>In the past, there have been kids with 4.0 GPA and very high SAT (above 1450 cr & math) who didn’t get a penny of scholarship money. It seems with each passing year, the crop of applicants with great stats is growing thus the increase competition.</p>
