Do they tell you what position you have on the waitlist? Either a number or tier?

From their website it seems as though they are doing Post-II R:

"After your interview, the Admissions Committee will notify you by mail whether you have been accepted, not accepted, or placed on the wait-list for admission starting February 19th."

 

[letmebeanMDpls]

beta blocker, reveal yourself

 

[The Beta Blocker]

beta blocker, reveal yourself

we talking doxing? or selfie??? hahaha

 

[warmpotato]

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

Plot twist, Beta Blocker is an undercover Pitt Admin

you are onto something. Beta blocker is just trolling us with jokes and memes and is probably the dean

Is anyone convinced that decisions are going to be out on Friday and we have to wait another 2 days?

 

[ymondnahc]

I am starting to think that sadly

Considering that’s literally the date they listed, I think many people are

 

[ymondnahc]

I think we all expected it a couple of days early because they typically release them early

 

[The Beta Blocker]

The reason why I suspect it will be Friday is because the CYMS Tool opens that day at 8:30am. I expect the A/WL reveal will be synchronous with that.

*puts on tinfoil hat*

Alrighty, so the weather forecast in Pittsburgh shows a 2% chance of precipitation today (Wednesday), 63% chance for tomorrow (Thursday), and 24% chance for Friday. As we all know, this precipitation on weather(dot)com refers specifically to "showers of A's, WL's, and R's from the Pitt Gods" and not actual precipitation. Thus, decisions will likely come out tomorrow (the remaining 11% is the chance that decisions won't even be released by Friday).

In this essay I will...

#1 rule of living in pittsburgh is you can't predict the weather. every day is a surprise when i go outside lol

 

[The Beta Blocker]

....andddd I've slowly descended into madness over the course of this day. Don't know how I'm going to make it till Friday. You know what real torture would be though—if we didn't find until Friday AFTERNOON.

 

[Rumham]

What if the adcoms think this thread is hilarious and wait until late Friday afternoon to keep intensifying the memes and neuroticism

 

[CaliEl]

Hello! Will we receive a letter on February 19 or the UPitt will send out the letter on February 19? Thanks!

Thanks! Do you think we should check our online portal? is it 8:30AM EST on Friday? Many thanks!

The UPitt

 

[CaliEl]

It's Pitt or Pitt Med, by the way. UPSOM for more official documentation.

They'll send the letter out no earlier than the 19th.

Thank you very much for your response. I meant UPSOM.

 

[CaliEl]

Yes. We'll get our decision faster through the portal. It can come out between now and the end of day on Friday. No one knows exactly when and all we can do is buy more $PITT calls with an expiry of 2/19.

Thank you very much for your response.

The UPitt actually decided to notify applicants via fortune cookie this year. Be sure to get take out on Friday.

 

[Cap001]

It’s gonna be today. I just had a dream about it.

 

[MRyan589]

This is an absolutely elite thread. Memeage, jokes, fortune cookies— regardless of the outcome, I’m proud of what’s been achieved here.

 

[MollyWeasley]

Anyone else convinced today is the day? Love this thread btw

 

[Iced Milk Tea]

If we all log in to the portal at the same time and crash it, Adcoms won't be able to post waitlist decisions 🤔

 

[med112]

so we all just hanging out on our portal at work rn? please tell me I'm not the only one lol

 

[lanadelgay124]

You're def not the only one, even though I have a sinking feeling it's gonna be tomorrow.

 

[Cap001]

I have two screens rn. One for work stuff and the other for the portal + this thread.

 

[deleted1079705]

[mcatdog14]

** me thinking it was their secret code for acceptance**

 

[doingmybest10]

i’m literally twitching every time i get an email.... the last one was just goodreads 🤦🏽‍♀️

I feel like the people on this thread will be faster than the email haha

 

[doingmybest10]

doesn't pitt do the update, and then send out the email on the official decision date? I could be wrong, but i saw in posts from years ago that it was an unannounced update

oh maybe.... not totally sure i guess i just assumed there would be an email like “check your portal” type situation! but hey, one less tab to monitor i guess?

 

[tunaktunak]

So last year (2019-2020), there was a portal change 5 days before they released decisions, and the change was that the "Application Status" (aka the text saying "Your MD application is complete and under review") completely disappeared. Also, another user posted this in last year's thread:

"I don't think this [the portal change] happened to everyone. Just looking at last year's, there were people who had no portal change and people who had portal changes. Also, the people who had portal changes received a PREP email the day after. The 2017-2018 had something similar where some people had a change and some didn't."

Guysss stop my IBS can’t handle this 🥴

That’s interesting information.
Does anyone have those symptoms stated above ?

Is it possible to be more nervous now than interview day? 👻

 

[deleted1079705]

So did anyone's status not change position?

 

[bahamaguy]

By far. I was nervous as hell for the group exercise though, but that doesn’t even come close. My boss even saw me reading this thread and asked me if I’m okay 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Told her no I’m not.

 

[deleted1079705]

where are you guys seeing this MedA thing

right below all of the tabs when application status is picked
