Yes, there is a short writing sample. Mine was at the very end of the day, after the interview and everything else. Don't worry about it too much!

Unless there's a new system this year, they usually send out a big batch of invites for 3 interview sessions at a time. So more invites probably won't be going out until sometime in October.

Did those that received an invite have a choice for dates or was only one date given?

Seven and a half.

Okay so you guys probably don't even think that's funny, but really... no one will ever know. I interviewed on the first date last year and I don't even know how many were accepted from there, but I know a few are in my class. The waiting stinks, but it passes a lot faster than you'd think!

That email takes a bit to arrive. And they ask you to please be patient during the application process, so don't call! lol

Pitt takes a lot of OOS and internationals. In fact, they take more OOS students than in-staters. Definitely more hope as an OOS/international.

I remember Pitt didn't interview anyone post December the previous cycle. Are they still doing that?

There are 2 dates in November and 2 in January. I'm not sure which ones have been filled yet and I haven't been keeping up with the "interview invites" thread to see which ones invites have been distributed for, sorry!
