@stemkidz Yay!!! So happy for you.
Hi all! Congrats on all the acceptances. I applied on August 1st, received buttons on September 21st, and I got an email with the video today (September 24th). I applied to Dietrich with no SAT score. I wanted to share for those applying without an SAT that you still can get a decision quickly. Just reminding everyone to not worry! Wishing everyone else good luck:)
Has anyone recieved any notification (either buttons changing, email, or mail) from the Business school yet? It seems like all of the other schools have released decisions so far.
Thank you @momandslp! This group was the only thing that kept me sane during all the waiting. I still don’t have the snail mail. Just the email video acceptance. I guess timing is different for everyone. Congratulations to everyone and for those still waiting, I know how that feels. But an acceptance is an acceptance - doesn’t matter when it is received so hang in there!!! It will be here before you know it!
Snail mail could be delayed by general delays with USPS. I got an invitation to a July 15th college event that arrived in the mail mid August, so don’t be too concerned about that…
I applied on August 23rd to Dietrich but I haven’t hear back yet. I’m also not sure by what you guys mean by ‘buttons changing’ ?

What are my chances for Computer science / Computer Engineering or any recommendations
Planning to apply Soon , plz advice ?
I’m submitting a spring transfer app as a first semester college student. Could someone explain to me the application a bit better? In the past I’ve only ever used the Common App & the Rutgers form.
Why does the application not have a space for listing extracurriculars?
Do I need to submit transcripts/recommendations?
And as for testing scores: I have a 1500 to submit for SAT (plan on it) and then 2 subject tests (690 US history and 680 Math 2). Would it be helpful for Honors & scholarships to submit the subject tests, since I have the advantage of having taken them over students who couldn’t this year?
Thanks 
@blondeboynj You should check the percentiles on the subject tests, I have heard only submit if way over 700 since students do very well on them. Over 60% of students get a perfect 800 on the Math 2 so that score would hurt you, your SAT score is great, no reason to submit lower subject test scores that aren’t even required. If you have good AP scores you can submit those.
And it’s official! S21 received the acceptance video today!

HI All!
Quick Update for timeline questions:
My daughter applied on August 18th to Dietrich school for Pre-Communicative Disorders (it’s a screened major so can’t apply/be accepted until after completion of first semester)
Her buttons changed on September 17th
Received email acceptance video on September 24th
No letter in mail yet
She did not send SAT/ACT scores
For those asking about the buttons, sign into https://psmobile.pitt.edu/app/dashboard
Once they’ve admitted you, under admissions, accept/decline admissions, you will see two buttons that say Accept and Decline. Until then, you’ll just see “You do not have any pending applications at this time”
Got my buttons today! Swanson School of Engineering :)… right now it says Undeclared engineering?
Sent in the application on 9/10 and was marked complete on 9/21.
