Members do not see this ad.

i looked through last years thread and someone posted the last 5 years release times, one was 8am and one was 5pm and the other 3 were in the middle, so i think its pretty random

Ah good so I will have an unproductive day at work checking the portal all day. Nice.

gotta look pretty for the R!

I heard February 19th at 4 PM EDT floating around.

Just wondering where you heard this from?

Same deal over here - Essays/Interview good, VITA bad. Thankfully my VITA was so far only for Pitt and not in its entirety.

I felt resilience was well represented in the first essay question and cultural competency in the second essay question. If Pitt wanted our verbal affirmations, they could have included one of each in the faculty/student interview or even the team exercise.

My thoughts exactly. I feel that Pitt just wanted to have some extra form of evaluation to help with their decisions and it made sense to take advantage of a free recourse from AAMC. Let's hope that they do not weigh VITA to the same level as essays/interviews, the traditional application facets.

They told me at my interview that they'll only look at the vita if one of the core competencies didn't come up in interview, so there's a chance they may not even look at it.

My morning routine these last few days has consisted of: 1. Checking this thread, 2. Checking my email, 3. Making coffee, 4. Checking this thread again

Dear Adcoms, plz grant me sweet release from this hell

 

[ymondnahc]

Anyone have any ideas why WL movement for Pitt has historically been relatively large? Is it because they don't negotiate financial aid, so applicants with multiple A's with schools that do negotiate tend to go to one of them instead?

From what I’ve read, it seems like many of the T10/20s have large WL movement because they’re basically fighting over the top applicants. So once those people decide which school they want the other schools will move down the WL to the rest of us.

I think that's a factor; I've heard that there's also a lot of overlap between students admitted at Pitt, and students admitted at T10s who end up choosing the T10s.

🙌 the rest of us unite!

I can’t stop checking my email every 15 mins ahhhhhh

 

[fianchetto_]

According to Pitt mythology, if you refresh the app status tab 5 times in under a minute in the next hour, you will receive an A!!!

 

[ymondnahc]

I don't think today is the day. Our status still hasn't been removed from: Your MD application is complete and under review.

The urban legend is Pitt messes with the portal before decisions.

I feel like it will be Wednesday or Thursday

 

[wallstreetbroke]

Adding to last year's SDN release list:
2014 Jan 31 - Friday - 8:18 am - 0 days early
2015 Jan 29 - Thursday - 2:27 pm - 2 days early
2016 Jan 28 - Thursday - 5:02 pm - 3 days early
2017 Jan 30 - Monday - 4:25 pm - 1 day early
2018 Jan 30 - Tuesday - 8:26 am - 1 day early
2019 Jan 25- Friday - 10:01 am - 6 days early
2020 Jan 29 - Wednesday - 1:44 pm - 2 days early

Based on some quick math and DD from the people at r/WSB:
2021 February 17 - Wednesday - 12:45 PM - 2 days early

This is not admissions advice. We like the school. Pitt to the moon 🚀

🦍 💎 🙌 I'm convinced, all in calls

 

[BJoverTrapper]

A whole thread anticipating a date when most of us are gonna be let down. We’re becoming even more like r/WSB

 

[HumanAfterAll]

 

[tunaktunak]

Pitt's AdCom reading this thread of us thinking we can predict the exact date and time they'll release decisions in an unprecedented admissions cycle:

 

[ymondnahc]

it feels like the week of october 15th again

 

[ImposterAI]

I'm finding great comfort in this thread. Waiting for decisions is so anxiety-inducing and painful, but it's nice to know I'm not alone. Hang in there everyone 😓

 

[The Beta Blocker]

None of the other threads I’m on have the good vibes quite like this thread. Fingers crossed we all get the opportunity to be classmates at Pitt in the fall!

 

[ymondnahc]

see y'all tomorrow haha

 

[letmebeanMDpls]

do we know if they call us or email?

 

[zorcandpals]

historically its an email to check your portal

 

[deleted1038508]

I JUST GOT IN to my apartment after a long day of work worrying about when this decision will come

[doodleman]

my heart literally skipped a beat IM TIRED OF THIS NONSENSE 😭

decisions are gonna come out and someone will say it, but i'm not gonna find out until like a day later bc I dont think to actually check bc I cant trust yall in this thread lmao

 

[bahamaguy]

OMG OMG OMG. Check your portal guys. Let me know if there’s any change to our status 🤣🤣. Morning future classmates. Love all you guys fr. Agreeing with another post above, this group by far has the best vibes out of all the schools I’m waiting to hear back from hahaha

 

[deleted899789]

I keep hearing about people "manifesting" good results on threads around SDN. I have know idea what it means, but I picture people sitting in a circle chanting things...

If anyone wants to manifest with me, we could set up a zoom call lol (or if you know how to properly "manifest", let me know). It's worth a shot I guess

 

[Iced Milk Tea]

aaaAAAHHH

 

[ymondnahc]

do we think it's gonna be today?

 

[abluebird99]

do we think it's gonna be today?

I so badly hope it will be today!

 

[lanadelgay124]

do we think it's gonna be today?

*waits five months post-II* *cannot wait another two days*

 

[The Beta Blocker]

Good morning beautiful people!

I've got a manifestation plan. We all pray to the Pre-Med gods at 12pm EST and say "DEAR LORD TAKE SOME PITY ON ME AND GIVE ME AN A." Results: TBD.

"DEAR LORD TAKE SOME PITY ON ME AND GIVE ME AN A."

[tunaktunak]

I'd honestly LOVE having you all as classmates. I can already see the class/club/interest group GroupMes flooded with memes LOL.

 

[The Beta Blocker]

WL or A, can we do a Zoom after we find out decisions?!?! I'd love to put some faces to anonymous usernames!
