How do they notify you?

How will you know if you got accepted into the university? Will an email come or do I have to check the portal everyday?

Here is how I was notified:
I received an email from Pitt telling me I will be receiving a letter very soon but I can watch a video to find out now. The video tells you if you were accepted or not.

My.pitt.edu will not have any notification of whether you are admitted. It only shows whether or not your application is complete. You will hear about your admissions decision via email and/or mail.

Best,
A Pitt Admissions Staffer
