I go to Pittsburgh, so I'd be happy to answer any of your questions about the school. I'm pretty sure with a 1250 you'll have no trouble getting in (provided your GPA is over a 3.0.)
I'm sure i dont have to tell you this but if you havent searched
www.princetonreview.com then register and do it, ultimately it was the most useful application for my college search.
Don't stress too much over it, i know I did and it really wasn't worth it.
