University of Pittsburgh Class of 2025 Official Discussion Thread

Anyone recieve nursing admission decisions? If so, how long did it take from submission to reply? If you wouldn’t mind posting stats, that would be very much appreciated. Good luck to all.

@MDmom2021 There is a SRAR just for Pitt. At least the one S21 filled out had the Pitt logo at the top of the page. If you Google “Pitt SRAR” it is the first result.

no mail today, maybe it’ll come tomorrow :frowning:

Hi all,

Just wanted to let you know my son received his acceptance letter in the mail today. It was 10 days after the portal button changed. No email yet. He applied to Dietrich.

So it should be any day now for you all!

@Seredipity2021 Love your name! Thanks for letting us know. It’s only been 5 days since portal change for my son so I guess he should not be expecting anything before this weekend. Fingers crossed it’s some time this week. Congrats to your son!

Hi Everyone,

Surprise! Son got packet in mail today only 5 days after portal change. Swanson School of Engineering. Agree with @Serendipity2021 - it will be any day now for all of you. H2P!!!

aww man. my buttons changed 11-12 days ago and I haven’t gotten mail. maybe tomorrow! @Serendipity2021 does your letter mention anything about merit aid?

Sorry for my confusion, but what is the “portal change” and what are the “buttons”? My son got the email(s) from tech support that they would be upgrading their internal system and assigning him a new username. He got the new username yesterday and activated it. Now he has access to the PSMobile widget (didn’t notice that before). When he clicks that it says he is not authorized to access the page. If he clicks on the menu and selects Admissions, there is an option or Accept or Decline (Swanson - Undeclared). I told him that he should assumes that means nothing until he receives and email or letter. Is that correct. Applied 8/20 but not complete until 9/3 when test scores and SRAR arrived.

@morrismom1 My daughter received her nursing acceptance today in the mail. SATs 1410 (700/710), 4.2 GPA, several APs and various extracurriculars. Good luck to all.

Son got his admissions decision in the mail today. He applied beginning of September. He is applying for the BSMD program so this is stage 1, fingers crossed he gets good news again!

How long has it taken everyone to get a decision?

Congrats! That’s awesome! When did your daughter turn in her application? Did she apply through the common app or the Pitt app?

Thank you

@kcbde24 Congrats! That’s awesome! When did your daughter turn in her application? Did she apply through the common app or the Pitt app?

Thank you!

@rmsm99 The admission letter doesn’t mention anything about merit aid. I thought any merit award is supposed to come in a separate letter but I’m not sure.

@mathlobstermom Congrats! Those are the “buttons.” For reference, as mentioned above, my son’s portal changed last Wednesday and he received his admission packet yesterday (also Swanson-Undeclared).

@momandslp Thanks and congrats to your son too! My son just wants that official letter - the timing of the “buttons” seems so coincidental with the update in their system. I have no idea when the buttons appeared, so can’t track time. Hoping USPS doesn’t take too long :). I saw that it will not be arriving today. Hopefully by Friday - think an official Pitt acceptance will knock a couple of schools off of his list, so fewer applications to complete for Nov 1.

@kcbde24 Thank you. My daughter has almost identical stats except fo the standardized testing because she was only able to take it once. She had hospital experiences, many ECs and leadership. I hope I will be posting her acceptance here too. How long did it take for er to hear?

Hello everyone and @hailtopitt1787 ! I applied via the Pitt application in early August, and still have not heard back. However, I just learned now that I would have been able to submit a resume with my extracurriculars listed, and feel that this would have helped my application significantly. If anyone submitted their extracurriculars, how did you do so? Will they be considered if I submit them now? Thanks!

Acceptance packet received today for Swanson plus guaranteed admissions to MS program and provisional acceptance to accelerated bs/ms all in the same packet.
@mathlobstermom USPS just shows the packet as other mail! This happened with my other kids last year too.

I don’t know, but we have the same question!
