Wow, if with a 1370 SAT you’re almost guaranteed full tuition at a school that’s ranked even higher than Pitt, then go for it, it’s a no brainer. That would be extremely generous considering how strong the competition for merit dollars has been this past year. Plus, frankly, flying from Hawaii to Pittsburgh presumably twice a year will pose some serious logistical challenges. We live in Seattle and due to a lack of direct flights getting from here to Pittsburgh is a 9-hour affair. Flying from Hawaii to Seattle would add another 6 1/2 hours… I think your best bet would be schools on the West Coast.</p>
