I think so. I was hopeful for a while that there would be more by now, but by this time last cycle, there were 4 WL movements. I'm guessing they are really close to full class size in terms of CTE's already this year.
What I just don't understand is how class sizes can be full after the April 30th deadline. I completely understand that before April 30th, these top-tier applicants likely went to more interviews and received more acceptances than in any other cycle due to the no-cost interviewing. But after April 30th, these top-tier applicants could only hold onto 1 acceptance, so you would assume that WL movement would be a lot more dynamic.
Same! Initially I was feeling pretty good because of the # of waitlists I was on but it has been radio silence on all the threads.
Damn this feels like getting punched in the chest. So sorry about your family <3I emailed with Dean Piraino and she stated they are ABOVE class size. Folks how did we get here, this sucks so bad 😭 it's looking like a lost cause. Pitt was the last chance of my family staying together
thank you for this lol my other school has a CTE of july 1st so pitt med is really stretching things out ig
The theme of the 2020-2021 application cycle, honestly
Hope's a dangerous thing, my friend!
My school has a CTE of June 7th 😭 😭
Not a current Pitt Med Student, but I was a Pitt Undergrad and I've been living here for 5 years:
They do, but the email will not be out until mid-August when the full class is matriculated
Agree with the comment above. I know of multiple 4-person houses and have never heard of it being an issue, including South Side. It's a fine area in terms of commute and safety. It definitely has a reputation for being somewhat rowdy given the number of bars and popularity with undergrads. I wouldn't say a lot of med students live in that area, but it's not uncommon, especially for M1/M2.
This seems really early for a CTE date :/
Adding to this, Dean Piraino said they do not expect any more movement and to apply to their UPMC residency programs when the time comes.I emailed with Dean Piraino and she stated they are ABOVE class size. Folks how did we get here, this sucks so bad 😭 it's looking like a lost cause. Pitt was the last chance of my family staying together
Wow. This is crazy. From 6 WL movements last cycle to just 1 WL movement this cycle. So incredibly saddened to hear this, but I guess this means we can move on and not continue holding onto false hope.
Thank you for the update. If all those people matriculate, it would be the largest entering class size in the past 5 years at least.…damn.
Most students live in Oakland, Shadyside, or Southside. Southside is where all the bars are and can get sort of rowdy. Rent in Pittsburgh is relatively inexpensive compared to other cities. Especially if you have roommates.
Thanks for the info! I was leaning towards sticking with the Darragh Street as I adjusted to med school and then reevaluating for next year.
I think that will be the move. Pitt is a super convenient place to go to school because all the clinical sites and research facilities are within 3ish miles of each other at the most.
Email admissions and update portal I think is ideal.
that happened to me too, but i was able to change the password.
Accepted friends, have you received any updates on this number (163)? I realize that not everyone might be in the GroupMe, but there are currently 152 members in it. For those who haven't committed to Pitt yet, there is still a full week to pull out before the CTE date
