<p>If you do not get an interview by the end of the week, consider your self rejected. I think this year they invited applications from more people than in the past. In the past, you needed to be top 1% in both class rank and test scores just to be invited to apply. To get an interview you probably need significant research experience, since the application has a whole section devoted to research. Congratulations and good luck those that made it so far.</p>

<p>To those that got full rides for UG, but did not get interviews you should consider going to Pitt just for undergrad and save a boat load of money.</p>

<p>im applying to UPitt’s medical GA program at the moment with a 2200 SAT, 34 ACT, 3.8 GPA, 720 Math II, 760 Bio, and ___ Chem (I didn’t get my results yet)… What do you think my chances would be to get accepted into the direct route program?</p>

<p>Some of my ECs: Student COuncil for 2 yrs, SHS for 2 yrs, many different clubs over the 4 yrs at hs to gain new ideas/experiences</p>

<p>Some of my volunteering: Nursing home- 4+ yrs, shadowing over the summer, volunteer employee at local store, etc</p>

174

<p>researcher101, you can find the requirements on pitt med school website…4.0 gpa, 1450 sat (they don’t consider writing) not sure about act.</p>

175

<p>D got GAP invitation today, one month after accepted into Pitt, so there are still chances for others who are waiting.</p>

176

<p>Did anyone use the Pitt Prestige Application to apply? I still haven’t heard back yet and am growing anxious… </p>

<p>Could someone possibly outline the questions asked on the Pitt app? Is it similar to those of HPME or Rice?</p>

177

<p>Does acceptance into this program come with a full ride for undergraduate studies?</p>

178

<p>^No, but if you have the stats to get invited to GAP, you’re more than likely to get a full tuition scholarship (full rides are REALLY rare, like they only give out 10-15 or something).</p>

179

<p>If you apply to engineering, you may get another 4k engineering scholarship on top of tuition. The estimated room and board costs are low compared to most private schools and so the difference may be 5-6k if one gets tuition and engineering.</p>

180

<p>How long does it take to receive the invitation to apply to GAP?</p>
