University of Pittsburgh Class of 2025 Official Discussion Thread

Congrats!

I got the accept/decline button and I applied 9/29/20, My status says that I am undeclared in Dietrich A&S when I applied for Nutrition Science BS. Does this mean I’m undeclared for sure??

@jasiminep1233 I read the portal will always say undeclared. My son’s does too and he is Molecular Biology. I read that it will say major on official letter. Congrats!

@jasminep1233 At pitt, everyone comes in undeclared! So you apply as a certain major but you come in as undeclared and have to get grades in certain courses to be able to declare your major.

My daughter got her acceptance letter today…she applied October 4, application was downloaded the next day, buttons changed on October 13. School of Computing and Information.

Most folks that have noticed the buttons change in October have received the snail mail and still waiting for their acceptance email. Maybe Pitt sends out mass emails at the end of each month :smiley:

Question about merit aid…
Is it tied to being accepted to the Honors College? My daughter is going to submit the additional essay for honors, which is due 12/1 on believe.

@RockyPA: From the different posts I have read from past years, acceptances to Honors College and merit aid are independent to each other.

We received the acceptance letter in the portal mail today.

D submitted on 10/4, saw the button changed on 10/13, and letter posted on 10/14. Over all, it’s very fast and painless process.

@ttbl1263: Congrats! Did you receive the acceptance email as well or just the snail mail letter?

OOS Son applied to Business School end of September, buttons turned on 10/15 and this morning he received an acceptance email (not the video). Good luck to everyone still waiting.

@2021YayCollege

Just the snail mail. No email yet :slight_smile:

My son got his buttons today…what happens if you hit accept?

@asmom33: Congrats! If you hit accept you will be accepting admission to Pitt and asked to pay the enrollment fee.

D21 applied early Oct, we received zoom “parent happy hour” invitation with admission rep yesterday, what are others experience with this, please? D18 currently attends Pitt and I don’t recall this in her process. D21 does not have admission decision as of yet. Thank you!

For those still awaiting the acceptance e-mail, my daughter finally received hers today and it’s adorable! (Although they neglected to update entering class from 2020 to 2021). She didn’t care though! Buttons 10/8, snail mail 10/16, e-mail 10/23.

My daughter received the acceptance video email today too.

Same here. Email acceptance arrived this afternoon too.

Daughter got her acceptance video too (though it would have been nice if they had taken the effort to update entering class of 2020 to 2021)

Congrats to all the other recipients as well.

Son also received acceptance video today. Congrats to everyone and good luck
