@jdsacco we are told that we won’t get acceptance notifications via PItt PS Mobile but some have reported that when the buttons change under “Admissions” from “you have no pending applications” to two separate “accept” and “decline” buttons, that means an acceptance letter is on its way. Mine has been stuck on “no pending applications” since August 25 
My buttons finally changed! I am so happy! To everyone else still waiting, just be patient. It looks like PItt is rolling it out in waves and your turn will be here before you know it. H2P!!
Congrats everyone! Great way to start the weekend!! So far, has everyone who has “changed buttons” applied for Arts and Sciences? Son applied to Swanson, and last year it looks like those applicants heard significantly later than A&S. Preparing to wait another week at least…
Yeah, has anyone heard back from the Business school yet? It does look like only Arts and Sciences are releasing decisions so far?
@ethan10 and @momandslp I applied to SCI (comp science) so maybe they are doing reviews by College?
Thanks for info, @stemkidz. I think they definitely release by school. Fingers crossed we hear some time next week.
Has anyone applied without test scores and received a decision yet? Thanks! Congrats to all who got in already!
My daughter is applying to the School of Nursing. Turned in her app via the Common App on 8/19, but she only self reported her SAT. Yesterday she submitted a request for College Board to send Pitt her official SAT score. Hopefully it will reach the school soon. Does anyone know if the nursing school usually sends out decisions early or late compared to other schools?
I applied to Dietrich in the beginning of August and I got my accept/decline buttons today! Does anyone know if the acceptances come via email or snail mail?
@dogluvr12 congrats! Last year my sister got both an email and a letter via the mail. I think for her the email came first. Not sure what Pitt is doing this year but I think should be the same.
@Sarah20841 My daughter reached out to her admissions rep at Pitt and asked him and this is the relevant part of his response…
Letters of recommendations and list of extracurricular activities are not required, but if you have that type of documentation, please forward me those material. I will submit those files to our Admissions Committee for processing.
Furthermore, the Admission Committee will download all supplemental material associated with the Common Application (i.e. Personal Statement). However Pitt’s supplemental essays requires a separate entry, and will need to completed on the Pitt website. Prospective students are highly encouraged to submit 2/4 of the essay prompts.
… so I guess she’ll forward a resume and have her teacher or counselor forward the letter of rec directly to him.
Just wanted to reply here saying that I also have access to the accept/deny options on the portal! I applied in early August for the School of Computing and Information through the Pitt portal and didn’t submit test scores.
Edit: I’m also OOS, and didn’t submit any supplementary materials other than the two essays
Son applied Sept. 6 and he just registered on mobile app today and buttons already there. Swanson. Hoping not a systems error.
@4squarescholar00 that fast?
My son has the buttons but when you click on them it says you do not have any pending applications is that normal
@kevi2900. I think that is completely normal. My son’s says the same. I believe it means they haven’ t made an admissions decision yet Son applied mid-August but had to update his SRAR on 9/7 so hoping to hear later this week or early next week (Swanson). Good luck!
Quick question, can my D submit the application now and apply to Honors later ?
She has been juggling with school, study for ACT and SAT subject tests and other ECs but should be to start working on the honors essay soon. Just want to make sure she can apply to Pitt now and finish the rest of the process later.
Thanks,
@ttb1263 absolutely! As long as the Pitt Honors essay is submitted by December 1 she will still be reviewed.

@hailtopitt1787 If we submitted an application on August 2nd when can we expect to receive a decision?
@emsdekk the first batch of decisions started going out this week so you should be hearing from us very soon!
