Pre-Med Questions at Pitt

Hi guys! I’m currently a Senior who was admitted into the Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences! I’m undeclared, but want to attend medical school in the future. I had a few questions that I couldn’t find answers for online.

  1. Does Pitt still do committee letters for med school applicants? I know they did it in the past but I wasn’t sure if it was still ongoing.

  2. How hard is it to do academically well at Pitt? I saw that to receive summa cum laude at graduation, you needed a 3.75. Is Pitt known to deflate grades making it hard to do well academically since I know GPA is king for med schools?

Thank you so much for all of your help!
