omg, big mea culpa to @HashMom @goldy75 @CCName1 â I was wrong about Pitt and demonstrated interest. Hereâs the relevant chart from the 21-22 CDS.
Sorry about that!!
Cool chart @Gatormama
Itâs from the Common Data Set. Almost all schools publish a CDS annually. Itâs a wealth of information for each school.
Here is the link for Pittâs. The admissions data starts on page 6:
Congrats on your nursing accceptance! Can I ask what your stats were?
How long does it take to get the decision complete email after the Review complete status?
Yes, I am familiar with them. I just liked the chart. I find Common Data Sets especially helpful when researching highly competitive universities.
Nothing so far. As the deadline gets closer, sheâll probably email them to confirm they received it. I donât think the honors program is rolling, so no rush?
I am still working on the essay, since the honors is not rolling.
D hasnât got official notification of decision. However, when she logged in today it says accept or decline your decision in student center

Plays varsity football, referees peewee football, and works part time. He doesnât have a long list of accomplishments. Only participates and does the things he really enjoys, which seems to make him happy. 
Iâm a little worried, all!
23 submitted completed application September 15th.
We tried to submit it earlier but 23 didnât look for an email about setting up a Pitt portal and didnât do the SRAR. I discovered the issues and had 23 fix this.
So, September 15 was the day we finally got everything submitted for real.

Excellent essay
Applying to regular school and not engineering or CS.
Went deep on a select few time-consuming ECs
What do you think?
thatâs only 2 weeks. no reason to be concerned. as long as the SRAR is complete and they have itâŠ
From what I have heard in the past, applying mid-September is likely fine, especially if not CS or Engineering or other impacted program. Try to take a deep breath!
Several states in the Northeast donât even start school until September. True, you donât need recs or official transcripts, but still many kids from surrounding states wonât be in college application mode until mid-September.
I wouldnât read anything into it at this point. I helped a student who applied at the very end of August and heard this past week, so it was a full four week wait. At this point, the 4-6 week estimate that admissions gives is likely accurate for most applicants.
In would give it at least 4 weeks before worrying or taking any other steps.
Mine applied on Sep 15th and was accepted on 29th. Everything will fall in place donât worry.
Similar to mine and havenât heard yet either. Went to review stage around the 15th
I donât think Iâd worry. It really hasnât been that long since itâs been complete. If you look through this thread, a bunch have been waiting a bit.
Future Pitt Families, Wanted to share there is a U of Pitt fb page you can follow to get updates. I attached a screenshot of the page. Just click âfollowâ. This is where I found out they have plans to open a new Campus Recreation and Wellness Center will be centrally located on campus, proposed to replace the OâHara Garage and LRDC building. Check the following link and video! How exciting! H2P!
