@hailtopitt1787 Thank you for the information. Would you happen to know if the School of Nursing is starting to send out admission decisions? My daughter applied to the School of Nursing on 8/19 via the common app.
Thank you
I am so excited: buttons changed to Swanson School of Engineering! Son applied mid-August, sent SAT scores soon after, but then had to update SRAR on 9/7. Hope we can visit Pitt sometime soon. Good luck everyone! Keep the faith.
Hi Everyone and @hailtopitt1787
I applied to Dietrich for economics on 8/23 but had to update my SRAR on 8/27 because I couldn’t submit all my grades the first time. I’ve checked the PS Mobile app and so far there hasn’t been a decision made on my application. I know you guys get a lot of these questions but is there a known timeframe in which my status should be available? Thank you guys so much!
Hi @khoang73,
We do not use the PS Mobile app to inform students of their admission decision. The first batch of decisions started going out this week by mail. It typically takes 4-6 weeks to hear back from us.
Good luck!
-P.M.
Hello @hailtopitt1787 ! Should I expect to receive an email to inform me of my acceptance or an envelope in the mail?
My daughter applied 6 weeks ago but we only have seen now that she could have sent in resume and letters of recommendation. Should she do that now?
Thank you! @hailtopitt1787 So we should receive both physical mail and a notification by the email we used to create the application with correct?
@hailtopitt1787 I applied to the Communication science guaranteed admissions program when I submitted my application. Would that decision come at the same time as my admission decision or is there a separate date for it?
Did anyone else get an email from the Pitt HelpDesk about existing Pitt account ID to be deactivated on Sept 19 because of a system upgrade and new one to be issued in a couple of days?
@stemkidz My son received that email as well. I checked online and there does appear to be a PeopleSoft upgrade starting Saturday night. Has anyone here received an acceptance letter in the mail or an acceptance email? If so. how long after “changed buttons” appeared?
@momandslp thank you for letting me know. I panicked a bit when I got the email. My buttons changed on 9/11 but I have not received the official acceptance email or snail mail as of today. When my sister’s buttons changed last year she got the email the following week and then then snail mail a couple of days after the email. She submitted her application around this time in September. She did warn me submitting in August won’t make it faster coz applications are not reviewed until September anyway. I didn’t believe her but I guess she was right.
@stemkidz My daughter reported that her housemate’s younger sister has received an acceptance email from Pitt (maybe Monday?). I don’t have any more details, unfortunately.
@momandslp that is great news! It means they are probably releasing in batches and hopefully the rest of us get ours soon! Can they share the acceptance video? Curious to see if it’s the same as the previous years or if updated for this year due to covid
@stemkidz I will ask my daughter next time we talk if she knows anything else. I’m surprised no one else on here has said they have received letters or emails. Others, please post if you have. I loved the video when my daughter got in (2017). All of Pitt’s communication with her was impressive.
Hi all – congrats on the acceptances! Does anyone know how much Pitt considers demonstrated interest? Tks!
@AlmostThere2018 I think demonstrated interest is considered pretty highly especially if your application is borderline. The more interest you’ve shown with visits, interaction with admission reps, etc, the greater chance of tipping the scales. But if your stats are high, it probably doesn’t weigh as much.
My daughter submitted her Common App yesterday and we completed the SRAR but I don’t see how you sent it to specific schools. Are we missing something? Thanks!
@stemkidz Son received his new username from Pitt today and set his new password. Everything looks the same. Spoke to daughter today and she did not have any info about her roommate’s sister’s acceptance email. Wish I had more to share.
@MDmom2021 Son did the Pitt application which sent him to the SRAR site to complete. I’m not sure how you do it in reverse - sorry. Best of luck. I’m sure someone here will know!
Thank you @momandslp! I just checked my email and got the new username also. I just logged in and it looks exactly the same. I’m getting worried that maybe these buttons are not a sure thing (at least for me) because it’s been a week since they changed and still no acceptance email or snail mail
