<p>^Yes, they do send out rejection letters via email. I got mine an hour ago. :(</p>
<p>Got mine too. Unfortunately for Pittsburgh, that means their school is now out of my consideration.</p>
<p>I really wanted to get an interview, but did not receive one… </p>
<p>Can someone who did receive one please list your gpa/sat and your research/volunteer experiences briefly?</p>
<p>I’m trying to reason why I wasn’t offered an interview…I thought I had decent enough stats to get at least an interview sigh.</p>
<p>Well what I’ve heard from others is that UPitt GAP looks for “unique” people, those that stand out a bit from traditional BS/MD applicants. They’re looking for more than 2400+Intel/Siemens whatever. Everyone who applies to these programs should have good grades, test scores, teacher recs, essays, hospital volunteering, research, leadership, etc. </p>
<p>But what separates YOU from the thousands of candidates that have all of the above? If you can answer that convincingly in your application (in addition to of course having an awesome “why medicine”) then I think you will get an interview.</p>
<p>haha yes I’m thrilled to have received an interviewed. I’m bringing my family (both parents and younger sibling).
and I’m super excited to meet y’all too!! Hopefully we will be spending the next 8 years together in PITTSBURGH!!!</p>
<p>well, I definitely have an idea as to why I didn’t get in: I had almost no hospital volunteering experience, my “why medicine” essay was kind of pathetic, and my teacher rec probably didn’t arrive on time because I told him about it too late:p</p>
<p>Anyway, congrats dee, sk2day, and everyone else who are invited to interview - Pittsburgh Medical School is like one of the best in the country!! Good luck everyone!</p>
<p>Any information on UPITT Gauranteed Admission interviews?</p>
<p>I am so nervous, I have mine on the 24th</p>
<p>bump, does anyone have any insight?</p>
<p>For those who got an interview or were accepted, how much research did you do, and what were your EC’s like? Where did you do research, and how did you get started on it?</p>
<p>I got an interview without doing any research.</p>
