Members do not see this ad.

Yup, everyone that reported the aid status has gotten accepted so far.

 

[Dr. Stalker]

Looks so far like a 1:1 correlation between acceptance and the financial aid message ...

I had a feeling it would indicate acceptance given pitts red text alert in prior years.

 

[neuroresearchguy23]

Waitlisted as well... no tier. Congrats to everyone!

 

[greys44]

Ahhh Accepted!!! I did have the financial aid message

 

[neuroresearchguy23]

Am I correct in that if we call them, they would tell us our waitlist spot? Or even tier?

I'd say it can't hurt.

I remember them saying they don't have people ranked on waitlist (aka can't tell you that you're #17 to get accepted next) but they should be able to say tier and I'm shocked it didn't come with the initial decision

Gotcha, yea that makes sense! I think I'll call around noon (after my meetings) and report back to those who were waitlisted as well.

 

[namaste7]

ok I just called admissions -- "the committee will be evaluating everyone on the waitlist." I responded with "so they decided not to categorize into tiers this year" and she said "yes"

Whoooooooo first official acceptance on the thread for those of you next year looking

Least surprising decision IMO. Hopefully our luck holds for Mayo!

 

[fluffystitch626]

ACCEPTED!! and had the financial aid update on my portal

 

[God The Creator]

For those waitlisted what does the application status say?

“The Admissions Committee of the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine has decided to place you on the waitlist at this time. In the spring, the Committee will be giving your application further consideration and begin offering admission to the applicants on the wait list.”

 

[Manzielf]

So the waitlist is unranked this year. I wonder how big it is

Welp, looks like I’m the first full on rejection then. bummer.

I'm sorry to hear! 🙁

 

[crossroad]

WL as well. I wish they kept the tiers - then we would know where we stand and if it was even worth holding onto hope. For ex 2nd tier was basically no movement, 1st tier had reasonable movement. But now nobody on WL knows our chances.

 

[sparksflyup]

Accepted, and had the financial aid line! This is so, so incredible- will almost definitely be choosing Pitt 🙂 <3

 

[sknb15]

Waitlisted and no financial aid status. Congratulations to all who got accepted!!

Congrats! Same here, only way I won't be going here is if Mayo accepts me. But I fell in love with Pitt the moment I saw it!

WL
I wish they didn't change the tier system

 

[MarineMDHopeful]

I called admissions, for those of us accepted just complete the Data forms and your spot is saved NO DEPOSIT REQUIRED!

 

[sticks12]

Accepted! Also had financial aid message.

 

[santoki21]

Accepted!!! still in disbelief but immensely thankful. I had the financial aid message on the portal.

 

[neuroresearchguy23]

For WL peeps (me included), this is what I found:

Feb 24, 2017, first person accepted off waitlist
Mar 03, 2016, first person accepted off waitlist
Fed 23, 2015, first person accepted off waitlist
Mar 28, 2014, first person accepted off waitlist

Now, this could be different since there aren't tiers anymore, but probably around late Feb would be my guess?

 

[14beichar]

Accepted!!! Will matriculate and call Pittsburgh home for the next 4+ years.



(Did have the financial aid update).

That's awesome man, congrats to you! There is a VERY good chance I will be too, just waiting for 1 school.

I think you’re going to get into Mayo as a highly ranked non-trad. Me on the other hand...

Haha I'm sure you'll get in...my stats are just average.

 

[VoxPopuli93]

Did anyone accepted apply for PSTP?

 

[MarineMDHopeful]

Did anyone accepted apply for PSTP?

I'm 1000 years old and can't risk another year or else I would haha.

 

[MarineMDHopeful]

Well played Pitt, well played.

 

[Pezoi]

Accepted! Also had financial aid message. Did not apply to PSTP. Guess it's my first post on SDN.

 

[Quarterhorse]

Same!

 

[Avada Cadaver]

Accepted! had financial aide packet email. What a wild couple days it's been with you all. Bonus; Delta airlines sent my luggage and suit to the wrong state when I flew to interview here 😀

 

[kroksi7]

Accepted! Had the financial aid message as well.

 

[gloryyga]

WL. I wonder how many people are on the list...seems like a lot

 

[12wizards]

WL.
Did not have the financial aid update.

 

[lovehate]

I am guessing most people who get rejected don't use sdn or won't post they got rejected. I saw a similar pattern in last year's thread.

 

[neuroresearchguy23]

SDN is def a biased sample. People who got rejected are most likely not going to post so the numbers are skewed. But again, pure speculation. Haha
