My DS didn’t get any email after acceptance.
I got an email yesterday saying “what you’ve been waiting for…”, basically saying that our decisions were ready. I got a link to a personalized video with congrats and stuff like that.
DD submitted application with essays and fee last week; 3 days later the status shows Complete. It is pretty fast.
Question to add to the mystery—D submitted her app with current test scores but did indicate she was going to take the September ACT. She completed her application in July but so far does not have any news either way regarding admission.
On the Pitt website it says: Please note that if you indicated on the application that youa re taking the test in the future, we may hold your application until you submit new scores.
Could that be why she hasn’t heard anything?
Yes, @carachel2 I think it might be.
Anyone who got a letter but no email, have you checked spam filter?
Uh oh, this may be my problem as well, now that you’ve said it. I believe I put on my application that I was going to take the October SAT retake, but since results were coming in now I was actually thinking about not taking it if I got accepted to Pitt. Better call and let them know!
My application status says “this application is incomplete.” Does this just mean that they haven’t gone through my application yet or does it mean I am missing certain parts of my application? I have already submitted my SRAR, Supplements, and sent in my test scores, so hopefully nothing is missing.
@kramer1 - That means you didn’t provide all the information and/or they haven’t received your SAT/ACT scores. Good luck.
Son admitted!! Applied Sept 7 and received video email last night ( 9-17). Really excited. Went to pittsburgh last year to see CMU but he hated it. Since we were there anyway, Took the tour at Pitt (which was well done BTW) and it became one of his top choices.
@perch1024 oh that’s so good to hear! Congrats! Lots to love about Pitt!
This was probably answered already but I can’t find it. Got the video and email but no mention of honors college…does that come separate or did son not get in it?
@perch1024 - Honors college and scholarship considerations are me times in the letter Pitt mails (snail mail).
@perch1024, You are honors college eligible if you meet these requirements: http://www.honorscollege.pitt.edu/course-eligibility
Those who are Honors College eligible will receive some mail later on. The Scholarship Committee starts meeting weekly in October and makes decisions on a rolling basis. You won’t hear about scholarships until a bit later on.
@Kramer1, If there are no missing items listed and it just says “application complete” it is possible that we are just still processing your application. If that is the case, the status should clear out shortly. If we are missing anything from you, there should be a specific action item listed.
Best of luck, everyone!
A Pitt Admissions Staffer
I have good or bad news, I’m not sure. I called today about the SAT questions and the lady said that there was a decision on my application that went through this morning. I asked if I would get an email and she said all official decisions come through the mail, which was kind of confusing. I asked if if she would tell me what it was and she said I would have to wait since it just happened this morning. Makes me kind of nervous, has anyone gotten denied yet?
@mad1623 did you check the psmobile website?
@soyunchico I just checked and it says admitted! Yay!
@mad1623 when did you submit your application??
@mad1623 Congratulations! You were worried for nothing!
@mad1623 congrats!
@cheesecarebear I sent it on Aug 4th and it was marked completed like mid Aug.
@STEM2017 @soyunchico Thanks so much! I was definitely freaking out for nothing!
