General Admission Questions

Hello!

Just a few questions about my application:

  1. I submitted my application on around November 13th... should I be worried if I haven't heard anything back yet?
  2. If I am accepted to UPitt, will the application for the Medical GAP program come along with it? Or is that a separate program? Also, when is the deadline to apply for the GAP program?
  3. If I am accepted to UPitt, will the scholarship information and/or honors college acceptance be included with general admission?

Thank you!

1)No
2)no, I believe separate notification which comes with further instructions to apply if invited.
3) honors college yes, acceptance letter might say considered for merit but no specific number

  1. No, it takes about 5 weeks for us to review an application and send out a decisions after it is complete in our system.
  2. Anyone who applied before November 15 and selected medicine as a graduate school interest will be reviewed for eligibility for the medicine guarantee. Those who are eligible to apply are notified by early January. https://oafa.pitt.edu/explore/guaranteed-admissions-programs/medicine-gap/
  3. Information about the honors college may be in your letter, but those who are selected for a scholarship will hear later on in a separate letter. The Scholarship Committee makes decisions and sends out award letters November-March 1.
