University of Pittsburgh Class of 2025 Official Discussion Thread

Congratulations to all of those who have received their acceptance! Our apologies for the oversight with the video; we are working on getting this corrected ASAP.

@DaisyW definitely, we will always consider the higher score! Congrats on her acceptance.

Button changed on 10/20, email in the same week, and received snail mail today (10/27)!!

@hailtopitt1787 My daughter applied 8/30 through Pitt’s application directly. Application has been complete since almost the beginning. She submitted the honors essay 10/5 - no word yet - should she call her admissions rep? She did email a local admissions contact at the 6 week mark who said she should hear 4-6 weeks… now it has been 8 weeks. Do you ever hold their application if you know an honors essay is coming? Thank you!

Just got my acceptance video! Applied to the Dietrich School of Arts & Sciences.

Stats:
1550 SAT (superscore)
Weighted GPA: 4.99/5.3
Unweighted GPA: 3.91/4
Chemistry SAT 2: 800
Math SAT 2: 800
15 AP classes during high school
Significant volunteering and other activities

@phlped It is possible for some applications to take longer to process or to take longer in the Admissions Committee than others, the honors review is done separately. I would recommend reaching out to your Territory Manager to make sure we are not missing any items. https://admissions.pitt.edu/esms/

Buttons just changed today! Applied 10/19, application marked as complete on 10/22

I just got my email to set up mypitt, where are these buttons?

@SDSUHopefulClassof2025: please go back and read the first few pages of post. It was discussed in detail. That’s how I found out about the ‘magic buttons’. :wink:

@persentius23, where do you see the application marked complete?

My daughter applied to Swanson back on 8/6. Math 710, total 1400, 4.7 weighted, 3.85 un. No word. Should she stop thinking about pitt and move on? Tons of volunteer work, …

@engDad63 if her Pitt portal shows application complete, have her call admissions. That seems like a very long time with no decision. Stats appear to be in line with previous class profiles.

@BSMDMOM2021 if you click on “Access the Student Information System” and then go to Main Menu, Self Service, Admissions, and then Application Status, it says whether the application is incomplete or complete

Buttons changed to accepted… but it does not indicate which campus. Any insight?Notes College of Business Administration.

@persentius23 Thank you so much!

My daughter got adorable email today! Yay! H2P! She will have to wait on her acceptance letter because she did apply to an accelerated program. Not sure if acceptance video means she got that or not, but she’s really happy to hear the good news :slight_smile:

@engDad63 I agree with @4squarescholar00 that you should call. Your daughter’s stats sound very good and completely in line with Swanson acceptances. Did you send official SAT scores in? I’m wondering if there is some kind of glitch with her application. Good luck - she sounds like a great student!

Same - S buttons changed Monday. Video Thursday- now waiting on acceptance letter. He applied to Swanson School. Will acceptance letter show merit?

Buttons changed today! So thrilled, H2P! Just waiting on snail mail and video.

I also applied for the guaranteed admission program for education. About how long does that take to hear?

@namelessnancy I think the guaranteed admission program will come with your acceptance snail mail. My son was accepted for guaranteed admission to Public Health (I dont even think he applied for it) and it came with his acceptance. The snail mail came about a week after his video.
