My application for Pitt says it’s incomplete, and I’m not sure why. There’s a possibility that they may not have received m SAT scores because of the College Board delay, but is there anyway that I can figure out if I’m missing something else?
When is the deadline? If it has already passed, I would call Monday morning. If it’s coming up, call later in the week.
When logging into my.pitt.edu to check your application status it should tell you exactly what Pitt thinks is missing. Do you not see any item listed there as incomplete? You can also email the admissions processor that would be working on your application to verify what is missing. See here for the list of processors:

My son’s app was marked incomplete for over a week after his transcript was sent by his high school and it showed that his transcript still had not been received. I emailed his admissions processor directly on a Monday and didn’t hear anything. I emailed again on Friday and the processor replied and said his transcript was received. When I next checked the application status it was marked as complete.
The same exact thing is happening to me right now. On collegeboard if you go under “see sent scores” you can see the status of your sat scores (like if they’ve been sent or not). Mine still says the order is “pending,” so I’m assuming the missing scores are the reason my app is “incomplete.”
@17anddreaming On your application status page are you not seeing anything listed as incomplete? When my son’s app was marked as incomplete, the application status page clearly listed his transcript as not received and hence the reason his app was marked as incomplete. If your app is marked as incomplete on the application status page but there is nothing listed below showing specifically what hasn’t been received, then I would again recommend emailing the application processor that would be handling your app to find out why it is marked as incomplete.
It turns out that it was my SAT scores!! I’m pretty sure Pitt was one of the colleges that College Board was having extra issues with. They sent a whole batch of scores to Pitt a couple days ago, so my application is complete now. Thanks so much!
My daughter applied almost two weeks ago, and her application still shows as incomplete. She is finalizing her short answer questions and will submit them today. Do you think her application is incomplete because she hasn’t submitted them yet? Nothing shows as missing on her status page.
@startingsoon, We do not hold an application for the optional short answer responses. If nothing shows as missing on your daughter’s status page, you should be fine. It can take some time for the “incomplete” status to clear on your view, but if we aren’t specifically asking for anything you should be fine!
Best,
