Applied to Swanson 9/30, got the “everything is in” email 10/11, got the “how you will hear from us” email 10/13. Buttons showed up 10/28, email 10/29. Found another document in the center offering her guaranteed acceptance to the MS program in engineering and/or the EAGR program (MS in 5 years)
She got into Swanson (engineering) with:
4/4.85
1550 SAT (800 Math)
National recognition for Saxophone, NM Commended, AP Scholar with Distinction
Local leadership and volunteerism through clubs and band.
for some OOS $ as it’s her top choice.
Thanks for these threads, knowing others timelines and about the portal post vs. emails helped a lot!

How much time between when students are noticing the accept/decline buttons to receiving a letter in the document center or getting an email to confirm acceptance? Is it a day? multiple days? Cautiously optimistic over here that buttons mean accept but don’t want to celebrate until confirmed with a letter in document center or email.
Ours took over a week to get the letter in Document Center. We never got a formal acceptance email around time he was accepted. Just got the video email weeks later when others on the chat board mentioned they had gotten it.

Mine received a letter in the document center today and received an email about the acceptance yesterday.
There have been no accept/decline buttons and nothing yet in the mail.
My son received the accept/decline buttons yesterday and his letter appeared in the document center tonight. He received no email alert. He just checked the portal.

I keep hearing about supplemental essays from multiple sources, but in the Common App, all she had to do was her “universal” Personal Statement and the Honors College essay. There was another personal statement you could do if you hadn’t already done the CA Statement. Are we missing something? I hope not!
The one I was talking about was specific to Pitt medicine GAP program.
