Thanks for sharing. Did they mention anything about next adcom meeting date? That might give an idea about more realistic date.
Last time I talked to them (mid march), they mentioned about an adcom meeting at around April 5th. so, I am hoping to hear something from Pitt either this week or next week.
Anyone in town tonight for Second Look and want to meet up for drinks? PM me!

Just got my letter:
Your eligibility is as follows:
Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loan: $40k
Additional Loans (Grad Plus, etc): $40k
Do I misunderstand, or does this mean my financial aid award is $0.00? In which case my total COA would be $80k x 4 = ~$320k?
If so, I'm glad I didn't waste money to attend second look.

Withdrawing my application post-acceptance from here. Very tough decision, but I hope someone on here benefits! Good luck all!

Do you guys think there will be some wait list movement because some people are picking other schools now? Or are we probably waiting till after the 30th now for anything?

Is anyone looking for a roommate for Darragh St apts or any other apartment in the 600$ range (750 w/utilities)? Not sure how to approach finding a roommate being from out of town, but if anyone needs someone quiet and happy to share notes/resources/anki decks I'd love to be considered.
You should probably try the Facebook group if you have an account. I am def planning on living in Darraugh as well, but mostly likely solo...
Is there any way to figure out how many offers have been made/how full the class is?
After the 30th they'll start updating the class of 2021 directory on one of the student portals.
Which Facebook group have you been using? I've been told there is usually a Med class of XXXX one, but haven't seen it yet. There is a dental school one, too, but they haven't accepted my request yet.
See @94sccrfrk's post below. I don't have a fbk account, but I do know that one was made for second look...

Hey everyone! I'm a current MS1 who has been using Firecracker throughout my first year to help me study and have really enjoyed it. Here's my referral link: http://mbsy.co/fTzzN
If you have any questions about how to use it, please let me know! if you are definitely coming to Pitt, we can meet up at the beginning of the year to talk through how to use it along with the classes.

Withdrew earlier this week due to other acceptances. Good luck to those on the waitlist!

last year, waitlist movement happened on the 30th.
@aksks I I just wanted to say that I clicked on your comment and saw your byline quote, while I just happen to be watching the office lol.
Just withdrew! I hope someone on the waitlist gets an offer!
Can you specifically tell them to give me your spot 🙂

Hey Future Classmates, how did you confirm that you are going to pitt? Did you send in a reconfirmation email to admissions or just withdrew from elsewhere and left it at that?
I think as long as you did the Matriculation Survey on the portal after acceptance and withdrew all other acceptances at this point, you should be good.

So are we expecting waitlist movement this week?
One can only hope... (in desperation)

Does anyone remember what time they usually come out with acceptances? I have finals today but of course I keep on flipping back to here so I just wanna plan so I wanna just plan ahead lol
maybe the committee is meeting today or sometime later this week then more decisions will be announced? because april 30 was yesterday, today is the actual traffic day as it's the first business day following april 30th.
Thats what I was thinking, I doubt there will be anything until later this week
