Congratulations to your daughter! My student got the GAP acceptance at the same time as well, but no merit. I wonder if going test optional is part of it.
Did you hear anything?

The wait is too stressful. Would like to know one way (hopefully) or another

Congratulations to all the kiddos that made the cut for GAP Medicine. Would you mind sharing stats or whatever you think worked well in your favor?

Thank you! That sounds incredible! sorry to bother you with some more questions. Would an applicant indicate all of this in their essay? Do you upload a resume? Or is there an entire application to fill out where you can list extracurriculars and volunteering information? Apologies for the bother and congratulations again! @johnmaysf @akpman @privatems @Chepurp

I used the Pitt application and submitted my resume sharing my healthcare activities. Yes, I mentioned some selected healthcare activities in my assays.
