University of Pittsburgh Class of 2023 Discussion Thread

Wondering how long after she received acceptance notification did she hear about scholarship?
Congratulations!

Not sure who this question is for, but we haven’t received anything about scholarship.

chicagoan25 I thought it replied to a person who was accepted and was told they received scholarship notification already. I’m just curious what the time between acceptance and scholarship notification is.

I also applied on Halloween and got my email two days ago? But I completed my SRAR on Halloween as well, so the wait time may be longer for you.

I haven’t gotten anything for scholarship and won’t except to for a while because the Scholarship committee only started meeting on November 1. The Honors decisions come out around December 1, so I would probably expect to also get any scholarship money/financial aid then.

thanks my son is awaiting honors decision so perhaps that needs to come first.

I don’t know if they are together, but I’m just assuming a month for financial aid, and the Honors decision just happens to be released at the same time.

Any ideas if it is possible to speak to a person in admissions at Pitt? My son applied on Nov. 1 and we have records that we paid app fee and sent transcript but got a letter today saying that they are missing at Pitt. Trying to resolve and don’t know how to reach a person. Thanks!

You will have to either call undergraduate admissions during their hours or you can usually email the admissions counselor. If you have a Pitt account it may say what is missing. Otherwise it would be wise to call undergraduate admissions when they’re open.

They can check the status of your application for you. It’s pretty easy but I would have your son call and just let them know about the letter and they’ll check. You just need your name and date of birth I believe.

@opalescence I applied on October 30th and submitted my SRAR about a week ago and I haven’t gotten a response yet either! Pitt is also my top choice and I’m just dying to know!

@nelliamegan ikr. i’m seeing so many people who have gotten a reply like 3 days later. it is lowkey scaring me

I’m guessing the reason you haven’t gotten decision yet is because of when you submitted the SRAR.

@opalescence right?? i’m so anxious about this but i saw someone that applied in early september and just got their acceptance like last week. Also apparently they got a huge influx of applications at the end of october/beginning of november and they said if you applied around then we should be expecting a response by mid december! good luck to you :slight_smile:

@nelliamegan Its nice to know a timeline! good luck to you, too!

I just checked my application status and for some reason my program changed from swanson to dietrich. Does this mean i was rejected at swanson?

My son has received an admission email from Pitt. Nothing changed on the website login, however in the app we do see the Accept/Decline buttons (as previously mentioned in this thread). Could someone let me know where any scholarship information appear? Is it under View Financial Aid, and Accept/Decline Awards? Currently nothing shows up under these links/buttons. And how long does it take for this information to appear after admissions is posted?

I also understand there is a separate Honors decision and a Chancelor scholarship related to that. Is that right?

Thank you. My first post on CC!

When does the financial aid package come out for admitted students?

@silver215, Financial aid notification will be sent in January or February to those who have completed the FAFSA. Notification of merit scholarships comes separately - the Scholarship Committee reviews applicants weekly October-February and sends out letters!

Best,
A Pitt Admissions Staffer

I received an acceptance letter!! I feel very blessed. It seems that the buttons changing on the app is really an indication that one was accepted. Applied: 11/1, buttons changed: 11/16, received acceptance video: 11/19 #H2P

The scholarship info most likely won’t be given for a while. My guess is that they would probably email you? I’m also waiting to see about financial aid.
