@itwasawedding - Congratulations! When did you submit your application?

@Winky1 I would call OAFA on Monday to see if it went through.
I agree, @mommdc , thanks. She tried again today, and same thing happened.
For anyone who winds up having the same problem submitting the PA Scholars Application, my D had to try a different browser. She was able to get it to send.
@shark62, You could also contact our office directly to ask about Short Answer Questions: oafa@pitt.edu or 412-624-7488.

@Seansdad, The deadline is December 15. But since we operate on rolling admissions, earlier is better. You can find more information at oafa.pitt.edu/scholarships.
@winky1, The University of Pittsburgh Helpdesk has a live chat on http://technology.pitt.edu/ or they offer other options to contact them on that same site.

My daughter was just accepted to the School of Nursing. Does anyone know when merit aid letters go out?
@lisag519 , based on info. from last year’s thread about merit awards, I think the scholarship committee could’ve met for the first time at the end of last week! Last year’s posters think the committee met on Fridays and sent out letters on Monday, so I am thinking it’s possible that some applicants will be hearing this week about merit awards! Fingers crossed, and good luck to everyone!
I applied to the business school and I got my buttons today! I applied on 10/19 and got the buttons on 10/30
Buttons appeared in the mobile app! It used to say “pending application”. This means he got acceptance right? And clicking those buttons would mean to either enroll or not?
How long does “You do not have any pending applications at this time.” appear in the mobile app before a decision has been made?
@suzyq311 We saw the no pending applications for a week after getting the link to create an account.
@suzyq311 … We’ve had the “No pending Apps at this time” message for quite a long time. Son applied 8/3, Yes, we have been waiting almost 3 months for a decision. Pitt requested 2nd SAT scores which were loaded last week and we were advised another 3-5 weeks before a decision will be made. This is making for an extremely long wait time and prob. by the time we do hear something it will be going on 4 months 
Hopefully the saying is true… good things come to those who wait.
@Hopetobeapittmom That is a long time to wait! Hopefully your son will hear back soon. Luckily for my daughter it was such a short wait. She applied 10/13. Was able to log in 10/18 and the buttons changed 10/26. I’m not sure if she has received her email video yet… Monday’s are busy for her with classes at the local college.
@Hopetobeapittmom thank you, on pins and needles here. my son’s information was loaded on 10/11 so we’re hoping to hear soon!
@DfwMomof2 did it flip to separate accept - decline? thank you!
@suzyq311 Yes on the phone app the top (in the beige section) says Accept/Decline Admissions. Below that in the white it says: Select either the Accept of Decline button to indicate your choice. You will then be asked to confirm your decision Select the previous button if you do not wish to make a selection at this time. Below that: In grey: The school you have applied to. Below that: Term Fall term 2018-2019 Below that lists the application number. And finally navy buttons that say Accept or Decline
Hope that helps! Still waiting on the offical email though!
@DfwMomof2 thank you. Patience is definitely a virtue that falls short in this household!
@DfwMomof2 The buttons turned today! WE are so excited, can’t wait for him to get his email:)
