Just received my acceptance email! I applied 8/31 for A&S
@Winky1, congrats to your daughter and thanks for the info about being on the lookout for the possibility of more letters. I pm’d you a few days ago - no rush in responding, but I wanted to post here that I pm’d you because I want to be sure I actually did it right and it went through.
@AmyBeth68 , we have not had a chance to visit Pitt yet (trying to manage but it’s not a direct flight and would mean missing 2 days of class to go during the week), but based on all interactions with Pitt so far, I totally agree that they do a great job of making the process as painless as possible. Other schools could learn a lot from them!
@jenn2… Call Admissions and ask the status. We applied 8/3 and app is still in committe review. Anytime we have a question, we call and they are nothing but cooperative and help us out. They told us today that my sons app was reviewed today and they are requesting additional SAT scores, and a letter should be going out soon. So he will be taking the SAT in 2 weeks. I am glad to know that that is our next step as opposed to checking the mobile app to see if we have buttons and becoming even more neurotic (If that is even Possible). Doesn’t surprise me as his 1st SAT was 1180. No great but not crappy. I have nothing but faith that he will improve his score, along with 7 test packets where he is to do nothing the next 2 weeks but prep
@hailtopitt1787 … Please let the OAFA office know that we truly appreciate everything they done for us, during this hectic busy time for them, they always make us feel first.
Congratulations on everyone who has been accepted thus far!!! Keep my son in your prayers that he rocks this next SAT session

Honors LLC requires an extra application as part of housing selection, but I think they always had enough room for anyone interested.
In the first year housing gets assigned, students can list their top housing choices in order of preference on the housing application.
In the second and third year there is a housing lottery. But you can apply for honors housing as an upperclassman as well.
@winky1, I recommend calling our office to double check that it would be okay to use one recommendation twice. One of our Enrollment Services Managers will be happy to assist you: 412-624-7488.

I just received an email today from Pitt saying they are waiting for my October ACT scores. Not sure if this good or bad news? Do you think its worth taking them and having to wait or just not take them and notify Pitt?
Has anyone seen their buttons change but not get accepted? Mine turned yesterday and hoping that it indicates an acceptance… how long after the buttons turn does an email come in?
My buttons on the app changed today!

@pagirl1999, If we contact you to let you know that we are waiting for another test score, it’s because the Admissions Committee has determined they need more information before making an admissions decision. We would encourage you to take the test and send in the scores.
If you would like to have a conversation about your application, you are welcome to call our office and talk to an Enrollment Services Manager or one of our Admissions Processors: 412-624-7488.
Best,
A Pitt Admissions Staffer
@koshercowribs My buttons changed Tuesday and I got my acceptance email around 3:15 today. It should take two business days.
I applied to the university of Pittsburgh about 40 days ago and it says complete on the application process, but i did not receive a respond yet, is this normal?

@moustafa10 Have you checked Pitt’s mobile app for application status? If so, if it says no application pending then it might still be under review. You could call the admissions department and ask for a status update. Pitt is great to deal with and their staff is very helpful!
@katiestutzman6 Congrats! I was also accepted into nursing. Do you intend on enrolling?

We were a little worried when we saw all the amazing stats of the admitted students on this thread. Congrats to all the admitted students!
For anyone wondering, I did call Enrollment Services and spoke with an admissions staffer. She said my D can have the same recommender for the Stamps/Nordenberg Scholarships be one of her 3 recommenders for the GAP program interview application. This is because they are separate entities.
@hemingways I’m not totally sure! I’m between Pitt which I like more and is a better program and Temple which is cheaper and closer to home which I want. As of now, I’m leaning strongly toward Pitt! Maybe we’ll be in the program together!
Has anyone that recently received the email w your PItt ID heard any decision?
hi all! i’m really excited about applying to pitt. i applied on 9/17 and i got the app today (9/22) after people were talking about the buttons and all. when i went in the portal there were already buttons that said accept/decline. do you think this is a glitch or maybe should i be checking my email inbox carefully lol
@skipper99 what are your stats? If you don’t mind me asking
