University of Pittsburgh Class of 2023 Discussion Thread

How do you add in midyear grades in your SRAR? I only see an option to put in final grades. I already sent in my high school transcripts, should I still update my SRAR?

@s9841210 I believe my son added them into the final grade section and replaced the In Progress status. I think that was the only option

thank you so much! @momofthree321

@SpartanAzure I submitted mid year grades three weeks ago and haven’t heard back or seen buttons change yet either

@hailtopitt1787 I received the video acceptance long time back and I wanted to show it to my grandmother now but the link says expired. is there anyway I can see the video acceptance from Upitt now? Thanks

My d was accepted to Pitt, we have registered for March 30 admitted student day for science majors :slight_smile:
Do students usually have parents attend with them?
We will travel with her but do students mostly go on the tour alone?
I can’t recall if the registration asked how many of us
Anyone care to share your experiences from admitted student days?
Have been to Pitt campus, casual visits, love it
Can’t wait to have an official tour, especially interested in dorms and travel distance to classes
:slight_smile:

Hello @ppxyz123,

Please contact your admissions processor to make this request: https://oafa.pitt.edu/esm_directory.php

@ziveli513 Yes parents attend admitted student events with their kids. Everyone goes on the tours together. We did the walking tour and then the bus tour. Was done very well, professional and informative. My son was sold on pitt from our first visit. He’s been there 3 times already and just loves the campus.

@allieandjoe yay, thanks! I was hoping parents go along, we are very interested too.

Hi there! My son submitted his mid-year grades January 17th and still hasn’t heard anything from Pitt yet. Has anyone who submitted mid-year grades recently heard back yet? His app only has an accept/decline button for Pitt Greensburg, not Pitt main. He applied to both, but prefers Pitt main. Does anyone have a sense of how long this takes? Anxiously waiting! Thanks!

weird question, but does anyone know how they notify you if you’ve been rejected? Will it be in the portal/app or via email…

@hailtopitt1787
dates for summer pittstart orientations posted yet?

My d has been accepted but hasn’t made final decision to commit yet
Pittstart dates would be helpful to plan summer
:slight_smile:
Thank you

Hi @ziveli513,

We are launching a new Online Orientation. Access to Pitt’s Online Orientation will be sent to all incoming freshman in May. PittStart will no longer be a part of freshman programming. However, Panther Connect is our on-campus summer engagement opportunity for new first-year students. It is optional, but it allows students to come spend time on campus, connect with peers and develop skills to thrive at Pitt. The office of First Year Experience is currently finalizing the schedule and setting the registration cost. Financial assistance is available based on demonstrated need. More information will go out to admitted first-year students in mid-February and registration will open in March.

Regards,

Hi @hailtopitt1787
Thank you! I was just reading online about pantherconnect and online orientation, thanks for update on pittstart
We will be watching for the panther connect info, very Helpful

Will panther connect be overnight in tower dorms?

Since freshman orientation is now going to be online only if I understood correctly, does that mean academic advising and fall course selection guidance from advisor will also be online?

With pittstart it seems it was in person which seemed appealing:)
Though online means many more options for scheduling I’m guessing!

@ziveli513, great question! I believe students will have the option to schedule their first advising appointment once they complete the orientation, they will then have the option to specify if they want to schedule their appointment via phone, Skype, or in-person. The online orientation will provide the student with plenty of guidance on how to do this.

I hope this helps!

@hailtopitt1787 very very helpful! Thank you
So many policies at Pitt are so welcoming, and we love Pittsburgh too

Updated my midyear grades 1/29 and am also still waiting to hear back…Admissions processor said about 2-3 weeks so hoping to hear soon! Pitt is my top

Could you please tell me where to find these “buttons” on the app? What does it look like? Thanks!

My buttons just changed XD!!!

@SpartanAzure, could you please tell me where to find these buttons on the app? Thank you.
