Which Application Should I use in the Fall/Chance Me

Colleges & Universities University of Pittsburgh

So short story, I plan on applying to Pitt in the fall but I didn’t do to well freshman year ending with a 86.64 (UW) GPA. Sophomore year comes along and I took all honors and one AP, ending the school year with a 91.42 sophomore GPA, With my cumulative being an 89.03 (W) . Lastly junior year comes around and i’m in 2 AP’s and 5 honor classes ending this school year with a 96.078 (W) Junior GPA and my cumulative being a 91.3 (W)

So my question is, With my upward trend in GPA should I apply to Dietrich in the fall using the Common App which wouldn’t allow me to put my individual GPA’s for individual school years and only my cumulative but will allow me to input activities? (Which could help my application) or should I apply using Pitts website which would allow me to demonstrate my upward trend in GPA but not my activities?

Also I’m expecting higher test scores in August and October before I apply, and my senior year courses consist of 3 AP’s and 2 honor classes. I’m also taking taking an Intro to Soc at my local cc so I’m not sure if that helps.

Doesn’t matter. Pitt requires applicants to complete the SRAR (self-reported academic record) outside of the Common or Coalition App. This form requires you to enter all courses taken in HS and the corresponding grades. If Pitt has concerns about your grades, they may request mid-term grades for your senior year.
