Winky1, was your daughter a Stamps Scholar?

yep, same. Trying to remain optimistic, but the timeline compared to others who submitted to the same school later, has me fearing the worst. I can just keep hoping that they are waiting to see more applicants and that there is still a chance after some time! Trying to keep the faith!

Amazing. I will still congratulate you 7 years later from when it was awarded! Was your child one of the first at Pitt to receive the Stamps award? It blows my mind on a weekly basis when I think about it.

Mine was in the second graduating class of Stamps Scholars. Amazing program and unbelievable award. So very grateful to both the foundation and to Pitt for this gift.

If you could change anything in the world, what would it be and why - something like that.

This is the prompt for Honors Essay, I am not sure if this is the same for Stamps also.

Yes, I believe that is the prompt for both last year as well.

Hello Pitt applicants and parents of Pitt applicants, I need some guidance on deciding the school ( Dietrich college or arts and science vs School of Public health). I want to apply on pre-med track balancing the pre-med requirements and building foundations to take MCAT while majoring in a track that helps me to maintain my GPA.
I would like to hear feedback who is on similar road ? what were your analysis and how did you chose one(Public health) over another(College of sciences) ? How do you plan to achieve similar goal through majors ? Any advice/suggestion/feedback is highly appreciated.
Thanks
D

Donāt worry about which school it is. Try to decide what major you actually WANT and pick the school based on that.
What are you interested in? You donāt have an intended major? Itās fine if you donāt and want to go in undecided, and then I would pick Arts and Sciences.
Iām pretty sure the school of public health only has one undergraduate major. If you donāt know thatās what you want then I probably wouldnāt think of applying to that school.

Unfortunately, no 
After application submission through UPitt web app and academic record submission through the SRAR, how long does it take to link the two? Will this happen automatically?
So sorry. Waiting is so hard!!
