I was told by admissions that movement is not going to happen probably till after April 15th when people have to narrow things down

Did you call?

 

[justgottaask]

Asking for a "friend"... Does Pitt Med drug test? If so for what and when?

No, at least least not until 3rd year clinical rotations.

 

[confused666666]

Also is there a GroupMe or other class page ?

I hope this link works: GroupMe

 

[premed066]

this is also my thinking! accepted WL students, let us know when you hear back from PSTP! I have a good feeling that you'll be accepted to PSTP! nonetheless congrats on your acceptance!

Thanks! just got the PSTP A!

no

 

[futuredoc002]

I called the admissions office and can confirm that they don’t anticipate waitlist movement until after April 15th. Their words exactly lol

did they say this in a manner that potentially implied there will be some movement at least?

 

[nadal123]

When I called she said they are looking at it presently

they just kept repeating "We don't anticipate waitlist movement until after April 15th" so I feel like there's a good chance but who knows tbh

Does anyone know when financial aid is supposed to come out?

just received via email lol! Thanks 🙂

 

[hambone34]

Anyone know when applications open for Early Decision? Is it the same as regular AMCAS (May 31st)?

 

[Skaterboi123]

Anyone know whether Pitt provides iPads to students? Not sure whether I should purchase my own

I wish - broke MS1

 

[brainperson1]

How long after April 15 do you all think it will take for waitlist movement to start?

 

[nadal123]

I want to say sometime in the upcoming week

 

[LargeSchwann]

Portal is down right now or am I just being crazy🤪

 

[palmtree137]

oh its not working for me either, maybe its just my internet?

Mine seems to be working

 

[IDKwhatmynameshouldbe]

Mine is not working either. Is this a good thing or a bad thing lol

 

[fuzullady123]

the secondary portal website isn't loading for me

 

[hagalaga19]

Is it down for your portals only? I tried getting onto the med school admissions login in general (not my account specifically) and the whole website seems to be down.

 

[macpuffmacpuff]

portal also down 4 me

 

[brainperson1]

Same for me. Like this message if it is down for you, and comment if it’s not. I am curious if this is the case for everyone. I also looked at last year’s thread, but the PTE deadlines were different then, and WL movement started around March 25.

it seems to be back up now?

 

[sunrisedolphin]

still not for me lol gonna try on another browser

Mine is down again

 

[lakerslover777]

when i try to just go to the website it's not even able to load? kind of different from previous portal shutdowns where it just said on the login page that the portal was down. is this for everyone?

Same thing happened to me, happened when I commented around 1030

 

[Hokusai Wave]

The website is working fine and I'm able to login.

 

[macpuffmacpuff]

me too, no changes on status for me

+1

 

[coffeebean2]

Mine is back up too but the order of my documents has shifted, not sure if that means anything tho lol

 

[sunrisedolphin]

Mine has as well. Don’t know if this is just a software thing or if it means something. The conspiracy theorist in me is hoping for the latter though

can't help but microanalyze but was the documents ordered chronologically in the Date Received column before? and then the order switched to not exactly chronological?

 

[charli-md-amelio]

Haha it’s in alphabetical order by title for me

 

[lakerslover777]

mine is somehow neither chronological or alphabetical 💀

 

[huaxiang]

Sorry if this is a dumb question but how/where do we send in our transcript to Pitt? Do I just send it through Parchment to [email protected]?

 

[brainperson1]

So are we thinking Monday they will release some WL stuff?

Not sure because of Easter

 

[brainperson1]

So I’ve seen a few people on here who got off the waitlist, some of whom also applied to PTSP. For those only applying regular MD, what is the anticipated waitlist movement like? How many spots typically open up, and would we expect one main wave, or one soon and then one after the April 30th deadline? Is the waitlist ranked?

Waitlist is divided into two tiers. Apparently almost all those on the first tier will usually see success, while those on the second, maybe not so much (source: google Pitt Med's WL procedure and the bylaw document will be the first thing that pops up). If they were already reviewing, I'd imagine they have some idea of how many will be coming in first and that it may be in waves (small in next two weeks, more after), but I wouldn't expect the brunt of the movement until the first week of May (source: member of adcom and general WL movement at T20 schools).

I don't think anyone would be able to accurately predict the amount of spots, since COVID might have messed it up, but it also might not have and maybe went to pre-pandemic levels. I personally think speculation on that front wouldn't be super beneficial for us WLers to think about :/

Optimistic tho. If y'all are WL'd here, you worked your butt off and undoubtedly will be super successful!

Ohh interesting information! AAMC waitlist procedure pdf states ~65 accepted off the waitlist for Pitt, but the total # of WL obviously varies alot. April 30th feels so far away!

 

[hagalaga19]

When will we know which tier we are in?

I don't think we ever will, probably something only they know

 

[coffeebean2]

Since it's after April 15th...if any brave soul calls admissions again please let us know what they're saying now lol

 

[TuckGamePerfect]

All of us when someone mentions the idea of calling Pitt admissions

 

[stargirl_interlude]

okay so I got my friend to call in (she's a real one 🥺 💕) and they said to expect movement in two weeks if there is any and apparently this year there isn't a two tiered waitlist it's just one waitlist and there is no way for you to know where you rank on it

“If there is any” BIG SAD 🙁

thank you and your friend though <3

 

[nadal123]

I too had a friend call and was told …. They are actively reviewing it right now so could be any day

Well at least they're consistent!

 

[brainperson1]

so no hope for WL movement today?
