Application status was just marked complete and Accept/Decline button became visible in portal today. OAFA document center still does not have letter other stated they saw prior to the buttons becoming available.
Also noticed yesterday that it appeared there were more option cards available in the myPitt portal than from a few days. However, clicking on the new cards yesterday still gave errors that access for those additional services were not available.

What is difference between BSN Nursing honors vs regular class in PITT. If we dont get HONORâs class is this is worth to join in PITT. I am from Boston, MA.
As per US news rating we selected this PITT school.
Thanks.
I have one child in the Honors College and one that is not. For the one that is, he would have taken honors classes even if he was not in the honors college. He likes the challenge. As for the BSN honors, I am not familiar with the difference, Hereâs a link to the Nursing honors information.https://www.nursing.pitt.edu/degree-programs/bsn-honors
Not that I donât love Pitt, but is it worth the out-of-state tuition for a nursing degree you can get in your state? My cousin went to community college in Pittsburgh and then got her BSN online at a cheaper school and makes the same salary as a Pitt nurse. And because I am a local, I can say this, Boston is a better city to live in.
The first priority for most nursing majors is a direct admit program; we donât realize here in Pennsylvania that most states donât have a plentitude of direct admit BSN programs like we do.
I am not sure about Massachusetts specifically. BC and Northeastern have direct admit nursing, but those arenât easy admits.
Anyway, while I donât disagree with your point from a financial perspective, some people want and can afford a typical college experience. If an in-state direct isnât available and the applicant wants a 4-year college experience, out-of-state may be the only option.
Respectfully disagree about passing on Nursing at Pitt and about living here. Iâm from Pittsburgh as well. Check us out, as the city has so much to offer. @caz0743 probably roots for the Pats , too, lol.
However, I do not know a think about Honors Nursing vs. Regular Pitt Nursing. Probably a question for the Nursing admissions people. Nursing at Pitt is fabulous and presitgious.
Iâm with Winky1! We love visiting our daughter at Pitt. The bridges, rivers, neighborhoods, art museums, and restaurants are varied and fun. Itâs a foodie town!! I canât speak for nursing- my kid is in engineering. In BioEng the honors program has been useful for getting first dibs at class registration.
You are too funny! Pittsburgh does have awesome sports teams, Iâll give you that. I was born at Magee right in Oakland and raised in Pittsburgh but I have been to every state but 3 (Alaska, Louisiana and Maine) and lived in the Washington DC metro area for 6 years in my 30âs during the birth of my S19. The ONLY thing that brought us back here was to be closer to family with raising what became 3 kids and to help our elderly parents (whom some have passed). My husband is a commercial pilot so I see A LOT of the world and we will choose to leave Pittsburgh most likely in the next 2-4 years for a CLEANER (yes pollution IS a BIG problem, Iâve lobbied in DC before the EPA about it) warmer area.
As for Pitt nursing, of course itâs fabulous but so is Duquesne nursing etc. and CCAC and CCBC which then you continue on for BSN.
Hello! My good friendâs child is in nursing at Pittt and is in honors.
Being in honors doesnât seem to be a big deal, except you may get slightly nicer housing and an earlier choice for classes. My own kid is in at Pitt and didnât seem to care about housing so how much that matters will depend on the individual.
However, I am pretty sure the nursing school isnât going to let you NOT get a class you need so the early registration as an honors student might not matter.
I wouldnât let the honors thing stop you. Pittâs nursing program is top in the country!
Just checked my sonâs status after making the previous reply. Accept/Decline button finally showed up for Computer Engineering after 7 weeks about moving to review.
Does merit award sometimes take a very long time to come in? We were hoping my daughter would get at least a little merit aid, but itâs been a month since she received her acceptance and still no award. 1540 SAT, 4.6 GPA (4.0 unweighted), AP and honors courses and very good extracurriculars and leadership roles.
I wouldnât interpret the delay as a bad sign. Your daughterâs profile is more impressive than my kid, who got the top merit scholarship for OOS applicants ($20K/yr).
Did your daughter apply to the honors college? If so, they might be considering her for an invitation to apply for the fancy Chancellorâs scholarship. If youâre in-state, they may also be considering her for a Stamps invitation.
