First tier waitlist via status page

Am I the only one whose status hasn't changed online? When I log in it still says under review...
Is second tier waitlist a death sentence? 🙁
Personally, I would send it to your faculty interviewer. They should continue to be your advocate for admission, if you made them like you. If you don't think that's a good idea, then send it to the general e-mail, though I think the former option may be more effective.
Hey everyone!
Sorry about all the waitlist decisions 🙁
I have numbers to share with all of you!
First year class size: 146
# accepted 2012 (US News): 356
# Interviewed (UPSOM Facebook): 846
If they only accept 146 in this go-around, expect over 200 waitlist offers... Is there a third tier waitlist? Assuming not, with 700 spaces above the class size, probably 1/3 first tier, 1/3 second tier, 1/3 rejected, so 233 in each.
Maybe that gives people an idea of where they stand?
Not sure why I'm on top of all these forums for other schools, but just trying to help!

Totally your call. I've been in contact with my interviewer via e-mail several times after my interview to talk about hometowns and her children, and she would be the first person I'd go to if I was wait-listed. (My status is not available yet.) I always prefer to address an e-mail to an actual person rather than the "Office of Admissions" or the "Admissions Committee." But I'll hold off giving you more advice until I figure out if you and I are competing for the same spot.😉😀Welcome to the WAITLIST HUNGER GAMES!! Jajajaja...

My status hasn't changed either.
Hey guys, if your status didn't change yet, you might have been accepted. No one has said they were accepted, yet (I think? I just woke up). Fingers crossed for you!
IIRC , there are instructions in the FAQ in the applicant center for sending letters/updates.
When is it an appropriate time for me to follow-up with the UPSOM?
Our Admissions Committee welcomes letters of intent/interest and updates to your application. The most appropriate time to follow-up with us is following your interview or after the receipt of your official admissions decision. Communications can be sent via postal mail or to our admissions mailbox at [email protected]. Any communication received from the applicant will be included in their admissions file.
I'm supposed to go take a test right now, and all I can think about is how many got acceptances and what the odds are for getting pulled off this WL. 🙁
Considering we're now over 100 users in this thread, I can't be alone 😆
Edit: Also, thanks Pitt thread for making us crack the 2k mark 🙂
maybe these decisions are all trolling and they haven't dispatched the real ones by email yet. it could be a huge practical joke by the admissions office to mess with everybody on SDN.
or i'm just crazy 😛
Rejections are acceptances, second tier waitlist is first tier, and first tier is rejection 😀
Wangers, didn't you withdraw here? Just enjoying the delirium of this 100+ user thread?![]()
I did withdraw haha, but I remember them mentioning Jan 31 at the interview day and wanted to see the craziness of a nonrolling decision on SDN, since this would have been my first one. The true beauty of nonrolling admissions is that all of us premeds come together for a full day of commiserating, and that in itself is why SDN is such a wonderful forum 😍
For update letters/LOIs, follow the directions on the website. Anything you send to your interviewer will just be forwarded to the admissions office to be added to your file anyway. I don't think Pitt has the faculty interviewer sit in on admissions decisions, but I could be wrong.
I'm surprised there's not more panic, but without any acceptances out maybe they're just waitlisting everyone again. 🙄
Think of the combined intelligence of this thread right now. Who wants to cure cancer?![]()

This is what I believe as well. I wasn't told otherwise, at least. My faculty interviewer told me that they just submitted a report and were done. To me, that'd seem like they have no influence on the decision post-interview evaluation submission. This sounds like the most common theme too.

Haha I would totally send a letter of intent today, but I'm afraid that the last thing [email protected] needs on a day like today is one of those![]()
Didn't Stanford actually do this once? I thought they sent our rejection emails to all their acceptances on accident.
Hey all! Just wanted to say not to let a waitlist decision disappoint you too much. I know how it feels all too well to wait for a date and then get waitlisted, but just keep in mind that the majority of the school got in off the waitlist. You never know when that surprise email could come!
Can you come here and just say that over and over in a soothing voice? 🙂
Where's Morgan Freeman when ya need him? 😉
