My younger daughter applied last week, when my older daughter applied in 2021 she submitted early October and found out early November. They send decisions as they make them instead of releasing all on one day like some schools.

Random question for people in the know. Sounds like most of the time UD doesn’t send an email about an update to the portal. How do they show it? Does the “awaiting decision” just change to accepted? Confetti? Friday afternoons? From past threads it seems there may be some acceptances starting late next week.

If I remember correctly, the portal is updated and you click a link to see the acceptance letter. There might be confetti (it was 3 years ago for my D21). Also, the Friday release sounds familiar. Beginning with the first Friday after 11/1 and then continued after that. My daughter received an early acceptance, so we didn’t pay close attention. Hopefully some of our kids will hear next Friday 11/3/23!

Thanks. I opened the Pitt portal and felt bad that my daughter wasn’t with me when I found find out she was accepted. So I’m hoping she opens this one, assuming good news!

Lol you don’t have to hope, just let her do it. All of my kids found out first.

Yep it helps if there’s an email to let her know to check it!

Any change to your kids portal? My daughter said hers changed today. No longer shows her major or ‘awaiting status’ in box at top. Maybe that means an answer is coming.

Same here. The top part showing major, status and submission date was gone.

Last year year my daughter applied on 10/13, and was admitted mid-December. She never received an email to check her portal. She received her admittance package in the mail
it was kind of fun to find that big envelope in the mailbox
old school!

Our daughter’s portal changed as well. Seems probable that decisions are coming soon I would think? Hope so anyway! Best of luck to everyone!

Thanks for the heads up
 Now I have to train myself to NOT look at the portal anymore. I don’t want to mistakenly be the first one to find out whether he got in or not. Fingers crossed for everyone!

My D’s portal hasn’t changed either. I’m trying not to read too much into it. Here’s hoping to good news for all of us soon!

From looking at last years UD threads all the acceptances trickled out over a month or so. Seem to start early Nov and go through Dec. It likely depends on major, in-state vs out-of-state, etc. Hang in there!

In some ways rolling admissions are great, but I can see how they can also cause more stress


For those of you that the portal changed, I’m just curious if there is a common denominator. Did you choose test-optional or submit scores? Or perhaps it is many other factors.
