University of Pittsburgh Class of 2023 Discussion Thread

I got in!.. waiting to hear on honors

@hailtopitt1787 I assume you meant Pitt even takes into consideration that an Honors class in one high school that is not weighted could be treated equally to another high school that weights all of their Honors classes, including those from freshman year.

AHHHH!!! Got my acceptance today for Pitt 2023!!! Very excited :slight_smile:
I’m OOS Florida, female, legacy (Mom graduated Pitt Law back in the 90’s), with a 1530 SAT and a 3.9 unweighted GPA. I’ve also received an invitation to apply to the GAP program for medicine. Hoping to get a merit scholarship and Pitt Honors since Pitt is my first choice!

D19 got her acceptance letter(snail mail) on Saturday. Honestly not sure when she sent the app in. Just waiting on Honors and Merit.

Does anyone knows if FAFSA is require to be file in order to get Merit Aide from UPitt?

Congrats to the latest who were admitted!!! Still waiting here!

For those who were accepted, how long was it between your button change and receipt of the email or letter? My daughters buttons changed last Tuesday and she has heard nothing since then. We are just wondering if she will hear anytime soon. - Thanks

My D got accepted to the Nursing School and we got the email within 3 days. I would check your spam folder. It took a while (about 7 days) to get the letter in mail.

I submitted my application through Pitt’s website on Friday, yet did not receive a confirmation. Did anyone else experience this?

Yeah. I never got an email confirmation. I never got an email acceptance either (although I got a mail).

@nwalesmom My buttons changed last Wednesday (10/10) and I received both my email and my letter today (10/15). She’ll probably hear really soon :slight_smile:

How were you able to check your application status? If you did at least

I applied on Oct 2 and the status states “Application Complete”.When can I expect the decision? Also, will I be notified by email or snail mail? Thanks!

Email first (clever personalized video) followed a few days later by a snail mail letter (not terribly exciting).

I am curious if anyone has received an admission decision who applied to Swanson (Engineering) using the Common App and not the Pitt or Coalition App? I posted on another thread but no one has responded, which makes me wonder. Still waiting and it has been over 5 weeks. That Common App sure seems to be significantly slowing the process.

@hailtopitt1787 ,
D applied to Pitt last week by common app. Received an email about Pitt passport.
There has been no email about SRAR or what are the next steps.
In the passport account, when check application status is clicked, there is nothing in that page.

D sent her transcript sometime early October. Is that why there is no need for SRAR?
Do we wait for decision at this point or are there any more application steps pending?
Common app does not show anything pending.

@HarviK, We do not require the FAFSA for merit scholarship review!

@learning19, If your daughter already sent her transcript, then we do not need her to fill out a SRAR.

The check application link should only list anything we are missing from your daughter’s application. So if nothing is listed there, then your daughter’s application is complete and you should hear back from us shortly.

Good luck to her!

@Cherax, If you are not receiving email from us, I encourage you to check your spam. If nothing from us is there, feel free to contact our office and we can check your account and make sure we have the correct email address on file. 412-624-7488 or oafa@pitt.edu.
