I have a son who is currently a HS junior and who is planning to apply next year. I have just learned that Pitt will be using the common app next year. Does this mean the existing app through the website is going away? I also read a rumor that Pitt will no longer be rolling admissions? Does anyone know if this is true? @hailtopitt1787 Can you confirm either way?
Yes, we are joining the Common App. We will continue to operate on rolling admissions. The University of Pittsburgh application will remain on our website.
Hope that helps clarify!

@hailtopitt1787, Pitt made a significant change that should be done early. By the way, do you have the numbers of total applicants and admissions rate for 2018-2019?
@J2H239, The Admissions cycle for fall 2018 isn’t quite over. We will publish those numbers on our website in the summer once everyone is enrolled and we have a chance to finalize the data.
