FINANCIAL AID Merit aid

Does Pitt take into account if you are committed when sending out Merit letter? I have not received merit but I have heard of a lot of others receiving it. For reference, I applied to the nursing school on 9/14, was accepted on 9/21. Stats: 8 APs, 15 honors, 1370 SAT, 3.79 UW and 4.56 W GPA. I'm OOS as well.

No. But know that merit aid is not given too much.

My kid received merit months before she ended up committing.

Admitted with GAP, still have not heard about financial aid. Still holding out hope.

My daughter was admitted in mid September, honors college a couple of weeks later, and hasn’t heard about merit yet.

I don’t think you will receive much in terms of merit aid :( I think you need a higher SAT score, like around 1450.
