<p>I received a letter requesting mid year grades and more ACT scores so I'm taking the ACTs again next weekend. I also sent in my first quarter grades because according to a guidance councilor at Pitt, the admissions team re evaluates each student after further academic info is provided. So i was just wondering if any received this letter, submitted more information, and was accepted after reconsideration? Just trying to gage how long after Pitt gets my ACTs will I receive a decision.</p>

<p>Weighted GPA: 3.86/5 - 2 APS
ACT: 29
Female applying for engineering program
wrote and essay, and submitted 3 letters of recommendation</p>

<p>I believe I was deferred due to my low Pre-Calc grade from Junior year, however I am now getting a 90 in Calc.
Also hoping to improve my ACT score to a 31</p>

I am surprised that they differed you!!</p>

<p>I believe that you need to specifically email them after they get your stuff before they reevaluate you. I was deferred for engineering with a 3.68 W gpa (school doesn’t send UW but it was about a 3.5) and 1880 SAT if that helps you at all</p>

<p>There was a young lady who applied for nursing, Pitt indicated they wanted to see oct sAt scores and she has since been admitted</p>

<p>@tamtiger pitt’s engineering program is getting much more difficult to get into, so I am not too surprised! Just doing what I can to get accepted :)</p>

<p>@brianz87 have you emailed them asking to re evaluate? And when do you think I should ask them to re evaluate? After my dec act scores arrive? Which will be the end of December, or after my second quarter grades come out? Early February?</p>

<p>i’d do both qwerty, that way they know u are very interested.</p>

<p>Thanks @mommabear48 I think that’s a good idea!</p>

<p>I emailed them and they said they wouldn’t look at just 1st quarter grades. They want mid-year</p>

<p>@skiwoolf I was told by an admissions councilor that “Yes, it is possible that we would make a decision based off of your December ACTs and first quarter grades, and it is also possible that we would decide to wait for mid-year grades.” So I believe they could decide at any point.</p>

<p>Just wondering if anyone that received a letter requesting mid semester grades have heard anything yet. How long did it take to get a response after your grades were submitted?</p>

<p>As far as I know, no one who was asked for Mid year grades has heard back yet. Including me. I asked admissions and they claimed I should be “hearing from them shortly.” So I’m hoping to hear by the end of February! </p>
