Why didn't I get into the honors college?

esecro - your stats match up nearly identical to my ds’ - he was accepted into swanson and then nothing about uhc. He emailed admissions after a few weeks because we thought maybe the decision for acceptance was made prior to receiving the Oct. SAT results asking (nicely) if reconsideration for UHC could be given. They responded right away and said a decision would be made within 7-10 days. He got the UHC acceptance letter within those 10 days. Not sure whether the email made any difference but they were receptive to the request for reconsideration and later (about 1 mo.) he received the OOS 10K scholarship. He’s a frosh engineer now and loving Pitt. Just send a quick email, it will make you feel better.
