Changed my application from Business to Dietrich today hoping that will give me a better chance at acceptance after speaking with admissions counselor and her advising me to do so because my SAT is low for the business school. Did anyone do this and get in?
@pagirl1999 we did the same thing. Admissions said my son wouldn’t get into CBA with his math score so we switched. A week or so later they then asked for 2nd sat scores but that was bc i said that he would be taking them again. So idk if he would have gotten in or not with his current sat. What are your stats? My sons is 1180 (580 math 600 reading /writing) 5.2 weighted gpa, 3.6 uw. Ap dual enrollement and honors classes. Well see how he does next sat. He applied 8/3
What sort of change in buttons is occurring on Pitt’s website after acceptance?
@Hopetobeapittmom I I have 1240 SAT (650 reading/590 math) and I am taking October ACT. GPA weighted is a 3.6. I also am expecting them to wait for my ACT scores because they said that already when I had applied to business but I’m hoping with good ACT I will be able to get into Dietrich. Good luck to your son!

My buttons showed up today (applied 9/23) for Dietrich in Computer Science (more like pre-CS I guess lol). Seems a little soon?
Stats:
31 ACT (31 on all sections except 29 in Science)
Something like 12 APs counting my senior courses (all As except a B for one semester)
Top ~8% of my class (really competitive high school)
Just an update on my last post: received my official letter of acceptance today! So excited and could not wait to get home so I could open the letter 
As always, any questions, feel free to ask!
If you don’t mind me asking, when did you apply and where are you from?
@StudentStudies Wait, they send physical letters?
@jukepuke you will get the email/video first and then the actual letter arrives shortly thereafter.
Does the GAP for pharmacy come as a separate letter or does the admission letter indicating acceptance for pre-pharmacy mean he was accepted in the GAP?

@jukepuke Like AmyBeth68 said, first you receive a video of acceptance and then a couple days later you should receive a letter in the mail. I got my video on Wednesday and had my letter by Friday. Good luck!
@fullmetalheart17 Not sure if that comment was directed towards me but I applied September 9th. However, my scores weren’t sent until a little after that so I waited maybe a week after that for my application to show completed. I’m from PA so I’m in-state. Hope that helps!
@Hopetobeapittmom &@pagirl1999, Did you get email or letter from Pitt requesting new Sat/Act score? They told us on the phone they need mid-year grades and senior SAT but we didn’t get any correspondence.
@Sgmom both. They told us on the phone then the next day we got an email. No physical letter
@mojady18 I believe the letter arrives separately. My D got the guaranteed admissions to grad school letter for International Policy and Economics about 2 weeks after her initial acceptance letter. If I’m not mistaken the same for Pharmaceutical GAP but maybe someone on here can confirm.
@MomtoAndrew2018, If you fill out the SRAR on Coalition or our application you do not need to send a transcript.
Best,
A Pitt Admissions Staffer
Thank you so much @hailtopitt1787 ! S submitted his app yesterday. He is so excited!
@hailtopitt1787 what about ECs and honors? S filled them out on Coalition. Will Pitt see them as well?
