Yes, same boat here. Went to review on Aug 17th. Stats are right in the middle for admitted students from last year for CS (both GPA and SAT scores) and a couple of Bs in 11th grade for AP Physics and Honors PreCalc. I think theyāre going to want to see Senior semester grades. Oh well. He really likes Pitt b/c CS is not in the engineering school.
S23 got the buttons on Friday late afternoon. We still have no letter in document center. We got an email today with a link to document center, but itās just a letter about a Peoplesoft Id. Have other people waited this long between buttons and the admissions letter?

A classmate from my S20ās HS received GAP for medicine. He was a NMF, 4.0/1600 type. Also won one of the full-ride scholarships. Turned down Penn for Pitt GAP. Yes. Very competitive.

Did that person have a lot experience in medical research and clinical shadowing which are required for Med GAP?
Idk for sure but I would imagine so. Our HS has pretty good shadowing opportunities. Itās a suburban HS in Pittsburgh so thereās access to programs at Pitt and CMU. Good luck.

My S20 at GT keeps in-touch. Heās doing some analytics research right now on Covid. Heās had outstanding opportunities at Pitt. I coached him in T-ball and even then I could tell he was exceptional.
I graduated from Pitt many years ago. If youāre interested in anything medical itās hard to beat. I wasnāt a bio science major but worked in labs because there were so many student jobs.

I know it is very competitive. Just hope to get into the next selection in December when a Med application will be sent out to be completed and letters of recommendation will be required at that time as well.
I said earlier, but we got buttons Friday afternoon before Labor Day and no doc center letter until Tuesday afternoon. It doesnāt look like the doc center updates during weekends.

How long does it take to receive and process test scores on your file?
Yes, I can empathize with you on that. Spouse and DC didnāt know they had to fill in the SRAR. So, we wasted weeks waiting for an answer until I looked more deeply into the situation. Meanwhile, we saw others getting accepted.
We all learned a lesson. Thankfully, this happened early (even if it feels late for a rolling school like Pitt) so we can do better in the future. 
I hope you hear back soon!
@hopefulmom23 same for my son
Went to review 8/16
He got in touch with them on an unrelated issue and was told his application is complete from his side.
But still waiting on a decision.

What major did he apply to? Can that have anything to do with it?
My son got a letter on August 15 stating that his application was complete but his buttons were fixed at āpendingā until today where they changed to āapplication completeā. Does anyone know what that means? Does this mean he didnāt get in because they didnāt change to accept/decline? Thank you and thanks for all the good information posted here.
What do you see if you click on the Accept/Decline option?
He doesnāt have that option. The button read pending (for about a month after he received the letter that the application was complete) and now the button reads āapplication completeā. Thank you
