Haha, one of my best friends has a Fit - it's way roomier than it looks people! :thumbup:

@Daneosaurus @BrazilianRider Hey I am looking to apply next cycle and was wondering what your thoughts were on my chances! I'm out of state with a 3.6 overall and 3.2 science. I got 20AA, 19TS, and 21 PAT (but bio was a 17 :/). My extra curriculars are above average and I just got a job assisting at a dental practice so I'll have plenty of hands on experience and I've done plenty of volunteering through Mission of Mercy and Global Brigades. Do you think I have a decent shot? Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Yes. Your scores are in line with our averages for our class. Also, @BrazilianRider and I just finished our first week and it's pretty great, but really exhausting.

Lunch idea: go to Conflict Kitchen. It's on Pitt's campus. It's really good. Trust me! Google it...

I don't think we get out until 2 something, but I guess if they don't serve lunch we could go there after!

Pitt interview protip: Black suit, yellow shirt. (I joke!)
 
Also, good luck to you all. They only interview you if they're legit interested. This is definitely one of the best schools I applied to, and I didn't think I had a shot.

Lol don't do that. Leave it at the hotel. Almost every hotel will store your luggage until you leave

Plenty of people bring a backpack or something to the interview. If your hotel can't hold it for whatever reason or if you need to go straight to the airport after the interview, you'd be okay. I know for a fact it happens at NYU.

Yeah, mine would be a carry-on size though. I'll see what the hotel says, but I feel my luggage would be safer in the hands of Pitt than at the hotel.

Where do you think Pitt would put it? In someone's office? The dental school is full of students, patients, and other people. I would leave it at the hotel. Even if you check out, they can usually store it in the back

Since 8/14, my aadsas portal for UPitt has been saying, "Received/Waiting Additional Information." Though on the same day I got an email stating they received my payment and photo. Am I missing something or should I just wait? Or would it be wise to call the school?

Schools received my apps 8/28
cashed check 8/17

Thank you!

When I interviewed, there actually was a place to keep it at Pitt.

A carry-on? I sure hope so because I too would rather leave it at Pitt than at a hotel (I trust Pitt more than a hotel). Are you positive that there is, in fact, a room in which we are allowed to keep our baggage?

Yes. It was in the back of the auditorium where they do all the interview presentations.

I would email Katherine to confirm whether they can store it for you though.

Ok as it turns out, I'm not a SDN expert and I don't know how to make a multi-person PM. Or maybe it's a brain fart. If one of you guys could do it, that'd be great!

Those will probably cost more than a flight, hotel, and what it costs to add an extra school to an AADSAS application lol.

I'm a professional scalper.

But I really do think this will unfortunately be the case hahaha
 
Hoping interview #6 is with Pitt! Anyone know if they've gotten to apps complete around 8/20?
