UPMC Hillman Cancer Center Academy

Did anyone here apply? Also, people who have attended previously, what was it like?

I applied. How was the application process for you?

@Eball03 I think it went well. My essays were above average I think, and my teachers recommendations should be pretty good. How was the process for you?

It said my application was moved to Review Round #1, did your applications say that it was moved to Review Round #2 or something?

@OmegaEnigma No, I am still on Review Round #1

Does anyone know when decisions are released?

I think on the website it says by April 31st, but according to the other threads, they usually release at the beginning of April. @stanford200381

Thanks, but I looked yesterday and it says by March 31st so it should be soon. @OmegaEnigma

@stanford200381 Hey are you able to redownload or view your transcript because I can’t seem to do it. I’m not sure if it is just a website error or I forgot to turn in my transcript. Freaking out right now!

@OmegaEnigma I am able to redownload my transcript, but don’t worry I am sure you are fine.

@stanford200381 Yeah I just refreshed and downloaded my whole application and it showed up. I guess it was just an internal error. Also if you check the updates they said they’re releasing decisions this week and next week.

@OmegaEnigma thank you! Will you be staying in the dorms if you get in?

@stanford200381 Yes, I am currently out-of-state (Delaware), what about you?

@OmegaEnigma Yes, I am in Ohio. I love like two hours from Pittsburgh. I hope that we both get in!

What research sites did you apply to?

@TauNeutrino21 Cancer biology and tumor immunology

Hey guys! There was an update on the website earlier this week that says decisions are going to be sent out by March 29th! This Friday!

Good luck guys!! I hope we all get in!

@TauNeutrino21 Thanks, you too!!

Anyone else feeling nervous/ excited for decisions?

@stanford200381 Definitely nervous, kinda excited

I’ve seen on some other threads, though, that they push back the decisions date sometimes. I really hope that doesn’t happen this year.

Has anyone received an email yet?
