<p>I hope some of you potential applicants aren’t misunderstanding this… the 1400/1450 score is for MERIT scholarship money. You’ll still be able to get money based on your financial needs… when I was applying to schools last summer, I realized most schools don’t throw around nearly as much as Pitt does based only on test scores. You really shouldn’t be so shocked by the cutoff when you realize how many kids are applying with scores of higher than 1400. Full tuition merit scholarships are very very hard to find at a school with academics as great as Pitt’s</p>
