<p>Pitt was a last minute application. They kept sending me things, telline me to apply. So I researched, liked what I saw, and did it. I hope I get some merit money!</p>
<p>Congrats kgoodwin18! You said this was a “last-minute” application; do you mind saying when you sent it in? I also applied really late but I’m thinking now that I want to go to Pitt and wondering whether procrastinating has butchered my chances.</p>

<p>I’m so incredibly excited. This was my last-minute, last-chance school after having gotten a lot of rejections (like…6 of them). Pitt was never on my list, but now I’m 99% sure I’ll be there even though I haven’t even set foot in PA yet! Good luck to everyone!</p>
<p>Accepted into the Pre-medicine major at the Dietrich College of Arts and Sciences with the Helen Faison Scholarship (full room and board scholarship). Haven’t officially decided yet but leaning towards PITT this fall!!!</p>
