was PREP sent to everyone (who potentially are now accepted) or did you have to show interest in it. I know I didn’t show interest in PREP

Does anyone have a Committee Decision letter for 2/7 or 2/15 that has not received a PREP email? Or did most people with Committee Decision Letters uploaded receive an email? Just trying to gauge what this letter means for forward movement

I thought last year they sent it to everyone who was accepted, regardless of whether or not you showed interest. Not sure about this though!

People who received the PREP email, do they have significant research experience or are they in need of research? Has there been anyone, currently or historically, who have not received a PREP email but was still accepted the following day?

Got the PREP email and have significant research experiences
 
Decide to take a break from SDN, but pulled right back into the fold. PreP email, decent by SDN standards. First T20 acceptance shared with my SO!! :smuggrin:

Congrats to all accepted!!!

My status came back to WL :cat:
But it seems that we found the tell for WL movement.

I'll stay for the memes and paranoia, but I am giving up on Pitt.
So, I'll carry the A I already got from a school that loved me at first sight.
I hope that I meet you all down the road for residency, I am def applying to Pitt again:prof:

Last year the waitlist moved again in the first days of April, just a couple days after financial aid offers went out. I think that was the last big movement last year.

I'm pretty bummed out that I wound up on the waitlist again, especially because all of my other interviews so far have led to waitlists. Congrats to everyone who got accepted and good luck to us waitlist people! For those of us who still want to attend Pitt, let's hope we roll off the waitlist soon.

I’m in the same boat. Waitlisted everywhere I interviewed. Rooting for you because I feel your frustration!!

Waiting's the most difficult part. Pitt was certainly my top choice, so the WL definitely hurts. If anyone needs to vent or just wants to chat, DM me! I'd love to talk to all you awesome people

Yeah I bet a lot of schools at around April will all of a sudden open the flood gates...especially April 15 and April 30 when people basically have to narrow down their acceptances!

Withdrawing from here, but am being asked why/which school I chose over Pitt. Should I bother answering either question?

Which apartments in Shadyside (or around Pittsburgh in general) do the off campus med students mostly live at? I've been looking around online and just curious what are the popular choices.
 
Any admitted students totally lost in regards to housing right now? Just found out the two bedrooms at Darragh are already full, which is crazy because I don’t even know how people are finding roommates. Can someone help?

I would reach out in the second look page on Facebook. If you don’t get Darragh there’s a lot of good off campus apartments nearby. Maybe posting about a roommate on there could help too

I'm on the Pitt waitlist, but I have lived in the Oakland neighborhood before! I would recommend using social media to contact Pitt students (Facebook, Reddit: /r/Pittsburgh, /r/Pitt) to help figure out off-campus housing if you're interested in that. There are a lot of nasty landlords in the Oakland area and current students there usually have good advice/experience and would be happy to help steer you away from them.

I don’t know about specific apartments but I know that most students who are off campus tend to live in Shadyside or Squirell Hill since that’s usually where grad students live (for both CMU and Pitt). Oakland tends to be really rowdy and is more unsafe so grad students tend to stick to those areas. Also lawrenceville and Bloomfield if you don’t mind going a little bit further out

Got an automated text from Pitt saying a current student would call me to provide details about second look next week for anyone wondering about that!

I have no evidence for this, but I feel like there will be another WL movement soon (prior to April).. Just a gut feeling.
