@hailtopitt1787 - Thanks. just for the record you have been providing useful and timely information here on this forum. As a concern parent I appreciate like others.

@HarviK, I am always happy to help however I can. I know this process is stressful for many and whenever I have the knowledge to share to help relieve some of that stress, I will.

Good luck to all!

If I say on the Common App that I would like to be reviewed for the GAP and I don’t get into the GAP, will I still be able to be admitted to the university?

@Silver215, Absolutely! Undergraduate admission is reviewed separately from GAP admission.

Also, if you don’t get into the guaranteed admission program of your choice and still choose to enroll at Pitt as an undergraduate student, your advisor will be able to work with you to help you make a plan for your path to graduate school regardless of whether or not you have a guarantee.

Good luck!

UPDATE: Buttons changed on sons app to Swanson. He applied via Common App (sent 9/10 but not downloaded and by Pitt until 9/20). Some difficulty with SRAR so I think it was marked complete on 9/27 or 9/28. I know those who applied via Common App have been waiting and wondering, so wanted to chime in that it looks like things are moving along!

I submitted my application through Pitt’s website on 10/12. I did not receive an email confirmation, and I do not have a login to check the status of my application. Is this normal?

@aelizabeth A week seems a little longer than usual. I would recommend calling your admissions processor to check on the status: https://oafa.pitt.edu/processors/

Our office is open 8:30 a.m. - 5 p.m. ET. We will be happy to assist you!

DD got in a few weeks ago and $15k/year scholarship today.

@Hokiesunshine Congrats to your DD! Do you mind sharing her stats, OOS/IS?

@Hokiesunshine Congrats to your DC! May I ask if the scholarship news came on the mail or email?

@hailtopitt1787 Thank you for all your continued support. I have a quick question, I applied on 10/2 using Common App and my online status says “application is complete”. When can I expect an update, and/or possible next steps? Thanks!

@RedMan108, Once your application is complete it goes to our Admissions Committee. It can take a few weeks for that review process. The admissions decision will come to you via email/mail.

Good luck!

@Hokiesunshine Congrats!

@NovaMom93 I got a $15k/year scholarship too. It came by mail today. :smiley:

@csNotBS Wow! Congratulations! Okay / to help us all out here, may we ask your stats? Greedy, I know. But seriously, great job.

@NovaMom93 Thanks, and no problem! I actually also posted them earlier on this thread when I got accepted.

WGPA: 4.5 | UWGPA: 4.0 | Rank: 1/350
SAT: 1550 | SAT Math II: 800 | SAT Bio: 800
(I don’t think they take SAT Subject Tests into consideration, but I sent mine anyway.)
16 AP + 4 Dual Credit Classes
Pretty good extracurriculuars, leadership positions, internships, and community service. All discussed in short answers.
Out of State applicant for CS

Just waiting on Pitt Honors now. :slight_smile:

@vamom4 Sure. Her GPA was 4.0 and SAT was 1430. Good luck!!!

Applied to Pitt lastnight and was curious to know if I was supposed to receive an email of any sort concerning how to check my application status because as of now, I have not received anything???

I just applied! How long does it take to get the email that lets me check my application status?
