@hailtopitt1787 Any idea of how many nursing slots have been filled thus far? Still anxiously waiting. Thanks
Is Information Science as competitive as computer science or is it less competitive?
I think the SCI was just established last year? So I don’t know how the transfer internally works.
As far as I know, IS and CS used to be all in A&S. But with the new SCI it seems you do some prerequisite courses for IS and CS (the first two years) before the transfer.
There might be different courses required for IS and CS.
I would call and talk to someone in SCI and find out details about each program.

Here is some more info, and a phone # and email address to contact SCI admissions.

You can look up some degree requirements for BSIS and BSCS in the course catalog.
But I imagine it would be helpful to talk to someone in A&S and/or SCI about your options.
@Lakeray3, I am sorry - I do not know! But we will try not to keep you waiting too long. Our Admissions Committee reviews applications as quickly and thoroughly as they can. Best of luck!
@DylanLambert1486, I would recommend taking a look at the SCI website, if you have not done so yet. They have some information about admission into their programs: http://sci.pitt.edu/

@hailtopitt1787 Thank you for all of the quick responses and great information!
@hailtopitt1787 When I entered my high school on the academic record page of the app, I went to Review tab and was prompted with an alert saying “No Coursework Detected” and “SRAR incomplete.” I want to only submit my transcript (instead of SRAR). How can I do that? should I ignore this warning?
@tjo3717, Please leave the whole “Academic Record” section in the application blank, if you choose to send a transcript.

@hailtopitt1787 thank you!
was wondering whether there was any button change this week.
@judyvegas …sorry for the delay.
My son received his email/video today at 3:15pm.
His stats are:
SAT 1240 (530 math, 710 reading)
GPA Weighted 3.845 - his GPA went up each year, significantly!
1 AP class as junior, 2 AP this year as a senior. Many honors and accelerated classes.
Rigorous, highly-rated public school ---- in-state.
Good community service hours.
His brother is a freshman at Pitt
Dietrich School of Arts & Sciences (intends to major in film studies and business)
Applied August 10th.
Pitt is his first choice. Has only applied to Temple and may apply to George Mason and Drexel.
Hope that helps you know…I wish you and yours the absolute best!!!
@sulu my buttons changed this week, I applied 9/15 although there might have been delay since my ACT scores were submitted later.
My son applied 8/12 and rec’d his acceptance email on 9/25. It went to his spam!
1260 sat
4.1 weighted
Many honors and 3 ap courses
Chasegriff… Thank you… My son also applied to Temple. Congrats. We are hoping to hear something soon
Received my acceptance email today! I applied 09/09 but sent my SAT scores a couple of days later, so my application wasn’t marked complete until a little after that date. If anyone has any questions, feel free to let me know! Just waiting on my official letter, so excited!
fingers crossed, @judyvegas
@judyvegas did you check your pitt app at all to see if the buttons changed? Also, what school did you apply to if you don’t mind me asking
@mistacube…Yes… checking app everyday… multiple times a day actually… Dietrich undecided as he truly is undecided… Anyone know if the buttons change certain times of day? Seems like videos go out at 3:15. Others with similar stats seem to have applied earlier in August than he did so maybe a few more weeks? So far no denial so that encouraging :0
Buttons appeared when I checked at 11 am Monday morning. I know how obsessive checking multiple times a day can be! Hang in there and good luck!
