Absolutely but had she wanted to go to one of the branches she would have applied there.

There is a strategy to apply. Like me, some students want main campus as their first choice but they can accept branch campus if they can not be accepted to main campus. I only put main campus in my application, but it does not mean that I do not want branch campus.

Glad it will work for you then! Mine only put the one campus because for her she didnât want to go to the others. But as I said I can see why they do it. I am sure itâs also for those that just want to go to pitt that even if they go to a branch and transfer in that itâs good for them.
I agree too. Those satellite campuses also have lower credential requirements.

What do you mean âlower credential requirementsâ?
SAT/ACT median scores that they accept are lower same for gpa. I imagine the credentials of the programs and courses would ne the same as the main campus.
It happens to any satellite or branch campuses like Pitt, PSU or others. If we look it positive, it is really good since these small campuses allow students with low credentials (low GPA or SAT) have a chance to go to college they want. Students who graduate from Pitt main campus or satellite campuses will receive an identical diploma (no campus is stated on a diploma).

I understand what you are saying about your daughter. My daughter wants an urban campus as well. Itâs where she feels comfortable and therefore itâs where she is most likely to thrive. Iâm still hopeful for you that since they split your daughterâs portal into multiple apps, that they might still give her admission to main since they didnât give a letter one way or the other regarding her main app.

PITTSBURGH â UPMC is launching a new program to make it more affordable for student nurses to complete their education and join the workforce. The UPMC Schools of Nursing Tuition Loan Forgiveness program will help alleviate financial obstacles for students pursuing a nursing career.
Starting January 2023, students who enroll and successfully complete their first semester at a UPMC School of Nursing location and meet academic requirements are eligible to receive up to $7,000 per semester in tuition loan forgiveness for all remaining semesters, with a commitment to work three years at a UPMC facility following graduation.
âThe UPMC Schools of Nursing allow future nurses to learn alongside the best of the best, and this program will help remove some of the financial obstacles future nurses faceâ says Maribeth McLaughlin, chief nurse executive, UPMC. UPMC is committed to helping develop future nurses by investing in programs like this to support nursing education. This program makes UPMC Schools of Nursing more accessible to prospective students. UPMC Schools of Nursing also offer flexible programs for students seeking employment around their class schedules at various UPMC facilities.
UPMC has six hospital-based nursing schools that combine clinical experiences with exceptional academics, with campuses at UPMC Hamot, UPMC Harrisburg, UPMC Jameson, UPMC Mercy, UPMC St. Margaret and UPMC Shadyside. UPMC Schools of Nursing allow studentsto earn a nursing diploma in as little as 16 months at a cost that is less than the average cost of one year of college tuition.

This is NOT Pittâs School of Nursing. Very different.
This is UPMC Hosptalâs nursing school. specific. FYI.
Of course. Wanted to share this since it would be another path being a nurse with a free tuition if any students are interested.

To make people with long waits feel better, DS submitted on 9/3 and went to review 9/7. Because he hadnât heard yesterday (6 weeks!), the school counselor called and the admissions office said he would hear promptly. Within an hour he had the buttons and today (10/20) received admissions letters to Dietrich and the Law GAP. So donât give up hope!

Congratulations!
Got email âYour application is moving to the review phase.â
Says among other things in the email: âWe know this can be an anxious time, and we understand you are eager to hear from us. No matter what the committee decides, you have a lot to be proud of for everything you have accomplished this far.â
Yikes? Or did everyone get this same email?
My daughter got that email four weeks ago and her application is still pending. I think everyone gets that. Good luck!
I believe thatâs their standard letter. No need to worry, although I agree it could feel ominous.
Just wondering when I would be notified of my acceptance/rejection to GAP and of any merit scholarships. I received an acceptance letter to Dietrich on the 10/18
Thatâs the standard letter. My daughter received it and then received her acceptance about a week later.
Congrats! Did he submit scores? high school college counselor told my son that it takes a bit longer w no test scores.
