Hey Guys,
One quick question… Does UPITT require teacher recommendations or guidance counselor recommendations? And is their any early action deadline or rolling admission?
https://oafa.pitt.edu/apply/admissions-process/freshmen
We operate on a rolling admission policy for these places in our class. This means there is no specific deadline to apply for admission, but it is to your advantage to plan ahead and apply early. This is because some of our graduate school guaranteed admission programs either have deadlines or fill up quickly.
While we appreciate your teachers, counselors, and other mentors taking the time to write recommendation letters on your behalf, we find letters are beneficial in very limited circumstances (for example: providing context for variance in your overall academic performance). We recommend that you submit responses to the Short Answer Questions and use that space to explain or clarify what most recommenders would cover in a letter.
So just to clarify no teacher recommendations are required?
Yes, that is true. We prefer for you to fill out the short answer questions instead.
Best,

Merit deadline is December 15 I think
@Mommdc is correct. If you would like to be automatically considered for institutional scholarships, you must apply by December 15.
Best,
