<p>Hey, I got into U Pitt's program
I think your scores/grades look good, and honestly for Pitt I think it's mostly about the interview, because they have a minimum requirement or something that you have to pass in order to get an interview. Then you go for like a 15 minute interview and that's when you really have to time to talk about your interests, why you want to do medicine, etc. I think its the most important part, and its different from alot of programs b/c the interview is usually long (40 minutes or so). </p>

<p>anyway so yeah, just indicate you want to do "pre-med" on the application, and if you meet the min. requirements, which i think you do, then wait for them to call you, schedule an interview, and then go for it. I think you have a great shot. And make sure you really talk about your extra-curriculars and stress your goals, because they want to get a good impression of you in a short amount of time. </p>

<p>good luck :)</p>
