pittsburgh: I heard that the University of Pittsburgh is become more prestigious and are beginning to accept less people. Aside from that, is it difficult to get accepted into because I would really like to go there. And what does it take to get in?|||i applied with no essay, 3.4 gpa, and a 1860 on my sat's and got in three days after i applied and got a $7,000 scholarship there too. My point is...its easy|||I also went to PITT and received a scholarship, some of my friends however paid the entire way through... I must admit that I have heard that the University went through a revamp some time between 2003 and now. I have heard that the school is more selective. Good Luck Report Abuse
