University of Pittsburgh Class of 2025 Official Discussion Thread

Congratulations everyone! I am sadly still waiting for the mail. I am in NY so not sure why it’s taking so long…I am getting worried.

@morrismom1 and @DaisyW - she applied mid to late August via the common app - good luck to both of yours!

@stemkidz I just spoke to an admissions counselor who told me that my decision should be coming very shortly! I live in NJ and applied on August 6th so I don’t think you have any reason to worry :slight_smile:

Thanks for update @sammysalz ! Waiting is so hard. S21 applied to Dietrich on 8/9. Each day, he checks for the “button change” on the app and still nothing. We are in PA. Hang in there everyone!

Just an update: I just got my acceptance letter in the mail yesterday after getting my buttons changed early last week, and also got a letter saying I got into the Dental GAP!! I’m so excited!!

@InfiniteWaves I imagine it will work out. I have seen your posts on Parents of the HS Class of 2021 and your son sounds like a very strong candidate. Crossing fingers you hear soon!

D21 got the buttons!!! Applied Aug 18th??? Buttons appeared last night.
OOS
3.82 UW/ 4.24 W
did not submit scores
Dietrich- undeclared

She was soooo excited, good luck to everyone waiting!

My daughter will be applying to Pitt, and is hoping for some merit aid. Does applying earlier make a difference in this regard? Also, can one apply for admission first and then apply for honors program after that?

letter came today :slight_smile:

Buttons just appeared for my daughter! Anxiously waiting for the email and snail mail!

Buttons are now showing in the app for S21!

The look on his face when he checked after dinner was great. A bit of shock and awe. :smiley:

Applied 8/12 and still no button change. Hope it comes soon :frowning:

Thank you @sammysalz. I am like a little kid always checking the mail as soon as it arrives and dejected when I don’t see a packet from Pitt. Hopefully tomorrow. Please keep me posted when you get your packet!!!

Buttons finally appeared!! Hopefully letter to come this week! :slight_smile:

Daughter received her letter yesterday! Buttons changed early last week.
Congratulations to those accepted
and hang in there everyone else. it is still so early in the process!

How long did it take from submissions to buttons appearing?

S21 submitted his application via common app on 8/20. Application complete on 9/3 with ACT and SRAR. We think the buttons changed over the weekend, but maybe we weren’t looking in the right place. Letter came in the mail today - Swanson for civil engineering

And USPS informed delivery did not show it as arriving today - you were right @4squarescholar00

Finally got my acceptance letter today! Applied to Dietrich on August 6th and was accepted with a possible Physician’s Assistant GAP.

Son just received Pitt’s awesome personalized acceptance video! Three days after receiving acceptance in the mail for all who are tracking. I remember it was by far the most entertaining of all D17’s acceptance emails. H2P!

Still no snail mail but I got the acceptance email/video today!!!
