Hearing back

<p>pittfan- did the request for midyear grades come by regular mail or by email? Do you mind sharing your SAT/ACT scores, GPA and other stats?</p>

<p>@Kathiep - Online does it say that the app is being evaluated? Or did you call and ask for the status of the app?</p>

<p>My d applied the first week of October. She did send an essay and recs, she heard by mail on the 20th. Arts and sciences–honors college and guaranteed admission to the physical therapy grad program. No word on scholarships.</p>

<p>I applied on October 11, my app was completed the 19th (Act scores were sent the day I sent in my app, but they didnt say they received them til the 19th). When do you think I should get a response. Im hoping any day, and from what has been said on this board, it seems like its a 3 week turnaround time from app completion. So Im hoping sometime this week. Any thoughts?</p>

<p>There does not seem to be a set 3 week turnaround time, though some applicants have heard within 3 weeks or sooner. Hopefully you will be one of the lucky ones who get an early response! We are still waiting after 6 weeks.</p>

<p>I heard back today. I finished my app Oct 31 and got a letter postmarked nov 5. I Am officially accepted</p>

<p>Woah that’s fast!!! Whats your intended major?</p>

<p>I got tired of waiting and called today. They said my D was accepted last thurs and letter went out friday. we did not receive letter. Thought her application had fallen down a black hole! I would suggest calling if you have been waiting longer than 4 weeks.</p>

<p>Accepted too!</p>

<p>I also found out yesterday that son was accepted on Nov. 5th to the Business School. However, I have not told him because I don’t want to spoil the surprise of him receiving the congrats letter in the mail. The letter was mailed this past Monday, but today’s a holiday so hopefully it will come tomorrow. </p>

<p>He submitted the paper app during the Ready Set Pitt on June 26 and the last doc was submitted on October 15, which made everything complete. So it actually took 3 weeks for the committee review.</p>

<p>It’s driving me batty not telling him, but I know how thrilled he will be because Pitt’s his first choice. We’re still waiting to hear from other schools and he received a phone call Tuesday from Georgetown Uni fto interview with an alumnus. So, we’ll see how that goes.</p>

<p>I was told by a high school counselor that Pitt’s deadline to review apps is Dec. 15. </p>

<p>Good luck to those still waiting to hear and praying the news is good!</p>

<p>Wow congrats to your son! I am hoping to get a response sometime this week :)</p>

<p>I am curious though as to how did you find out he was accepted?</p>

<p>Thanks! I called Admissions.</p>

<p>Congratz. Maybe I will have a class with your son if I go. My intended major is biology.</p>

<p>The Congratulations envelope came today! He’s working until midnight; can’t wait for him to get home to open it :-)</p>
