Hi everyone, I am seeing everyone mention an “app” where they can see accept and decline buttons and I wanted to know what app you are talking about? I have the website where I applied but it only updated me that my SRAR were sent and when I update the information on my account. Is there another app? If it is the Pitt PS Mobile app, how do you log in? Because it asks for a username and password and if you don’t have it, it asks for information that I don’t have yet. If anyone could help me out I would be greatly appreciative, I would hate to miss out on accepting or checking my application. Thank you!
@hailtopitt1787 Can you clarify the status of applications submitted on the Common App? Are you having technical difficulties with all apps submitted that way, or is it just slower? Should resubmitting on a alternate platform be considered? My son has not received any verification that his application has been received (sent 9/9) and the subsequent link to answer the short answer essay questions. He is really hoping for merit aid so had intended to have it all wrapped up by now. Any advice? I did call the office last week and was told that admissions is working on the technical problem and hoping to start to process those applications soon, but she could not give any timeframe. Thanks for your help.
Has anyone who has been accepted or seen the “buttons” applied using common app and not the Pitt specific or collation app? Has anyone who applied via the common app even got a verification email or link to the portal, and if so, how long did it take to get that? I am wondering if all common apps are stuck in limbo. Sounds like maybe they are.
My D applied via Common App on 09/11/2018 and we heard for all other colleges except Upitt. When I called today the undergraduate admission says they are not able to import Common App folks applications and do not know when that will be fixed. This is very frustrating and does not help at all. Some body in IT should responsible for this mess.
@alamohanna the log-in credentials for the Pitt Mobile app are the same as the one you use for the pitt application portal. It looks like its sent a few business days after they receive the application. Good luck!
@NovaMom93 thank you so much I just logged in! Can anyone confirm that when you receive the accept or decline button on the online app that it means you are accepted??? After i clicked accept it asked how I would like to pay for tuition deposit. Any information would be great, thank you!
@alamohanna Sounds like an admit to me! You have until May 1st to accept, so don’t accept yet in case you have other applications out there!

@Homedayton The Moblie App… Good Luck!

I hope I can calm some nerves with my stats, because I know some of the other comments had me worried!
I applied 8/1 when application opened. I live about an hour from Pittsburgh & I attend an all inclusive tech school. I noticed my buttons changed yesterday and got my email/video today at 14:46!! I have a 3.9 uwGPA and a 4.3 wGPA. 1210 SAT, 33 ACT and am active in NHS and student government!
Don’t get discouraged, I know I did! Best of luck & congratulations to everyone who has been admitted!!
D received admission letter today. In regular mail. Web account and app still just say “ application complete”
More detail…OOS In NY. Also was invited to apply to Medical GAP
OMG my son’s app has accept/decline buttons. He applied 8/4 and app was complete 8/8 or somewhere around there
My D received “the What You’ve Been Waiting for” this afternoon after her buttons changed last week. 
Oops - meant to add, that it is “the email” from admissions with her acceptance!

My son ended up calling admissions cause he didn’t believe me about the buttons and people getting accepted (he doesn’t go on this site) and they told him not to pay attention to the buttons and wait till he gets something official from them. Ugh
@allieandjoe “don’t look behind the curtain!” lol
based on the unscientific study of college confidential, it looks very good for your son
