Hello, I've been researching UPitt and really like the vibe of the school. However, I'm from out of state. Does anyone know if the acceptance rate for out-of-state students is especially low? I'm just trying to gauge how competitive it is! Thanks in advance :-)
Hi there! It's great that you're considering UPitt! Acceptance rates for out-of-state students are not always widely available, but from the information I could find, the overall acceptance rate for the University of Pittsburgh in recent years has been around 49-55%.
While I couldn't find a specific acceptance rate for out-of-state students, it's worth noting that UPitt does have a significant portion of out-of-state students. In fact, approximately 40% of their enrolled students come from out of state. This number suggests that UPitt values geographic diversity and is open to admitting students from different regions.
As with any school, your competitiveness in the admissions process depends on various factors, including your academic performance, extracurricular involvement, and personal essays. Make sure your application highlights your strengths and demonstrates why you're a good fit for UPitt.
Best of luck in the application process!
