Hahaha @DaveCat I did that too! I was trying to remember if it was that the people with blue or red underneath their tabs were accepted or not.. But it turned out to be speculation from what I recall... Don't go down the rabbit hole... haha.
Oh yes, sorry. Admission Data Form tab was added a few weeks after my interview.
Hahaha yeah. It turned out the blue was a joke and people with red were accepted. I feel like that was much closer to the notification date though.
Ahhh I see.
what does this mean, blue or red under the tabs? **edit: never mind. I went and creeped myself. Now I am obsessively checking my portal hoping something will change (although it looks like it won't change until the day before).
It was my understanding that Pitt is done interviewing at this point, and everyone will find out on January 31. I could be wrong though.
im saving my update for when i get waitlisted. There is A LOT of WL movement here.
I sent an update last week with new grades and activities in the hopes that it'll at least get me onto the wait list haha. If I make it onto that, then I'll send another one later on with updates/letter of intent. That was my game plan but if you're more confident then maybe waiting to send an update after decisions are sent would be good.
I see in your bio that you are a PA resident, as am I. Do you think that will help us at all in the selection process?
From looking at last years thread, it appears that about a day before the decisions were supposed to be released, pretty much everyone who was admitted had some red text appear on their status page right under the "admissions data" tab, while people who were waitlisted or rejected didn't have any text.
I am too. Pitt is private, so no.
What about "MedA Application Status"? Is this something everyone has?
I do
Don't remember... last year's thread has me like
Like tarheelpenner said, they're private so I doubt it. But I sure hope it makes them like me a little more hahah. I'm from outside philly so I don't have any close ties to Pittsburgh
% OOS applicants interviewed = 15.7%; % IS applicants interviewed=17.9%. So yeah not really much of a difference. but i did notice on interview day that many med students had gone to pitt undergrad. they might have preference for their own undergrad, but not state.Like tarheelpenner said, they're private so I doubt it. But I sure hope it makes them like me a little more hahah. I'm from outside philly so I don't have any close ties to Pittsburgh
where are you seeing the MedA application status?
nevermind, seeing it under application status
This has been there on mine for as long as I can remember, I don't think it has anything to do with a decision.
Pitt students are not necessarily considered PA residents though if they went to Pitt and aren't from the state, right? I thought residency was the state you graduated HS from
excellent point lmao
My portal changed to add "Please allow 8 weeks from interview date to receive final decision." I hope that's not bad 🙁
Haha so thankful for this thread
Maybe that just means that the people who interviewed in December won't necessarily hear back January 31. Is what I am thinking.
I interviewed oct 31 and have that status. Also I'm pretty sure everyone hears back on Jan 31
