I called because I had another question, and again concerned that movement will not occur until after May 2nd.

 

[nadal123]

That is so late in comparison to last 2 years
The wait is killing!

What about the call made you concerned about this?

 

[brainperson1]

Confirmed my apologies

 

[nadal123]

They are all out to kill u….. slowly

 

[nadal123]

I meant “us”

 

[macpuffmacpuff]

Hahahahah

Portal site maintenance Thursday lol

 

[TuckGamePerfect]

Portal site maintenance Thursday lol

I’m too jaded to find any hope in this anymore lmao

 

[nadal123]

They have really stretched it to the max time this year

 

[a1324566]

No one needs 4 days notice for a 30 minute shutdown at 7:30 am, they're just messing with us at this point lol

 

[lakerslover777]

i guess considering it's right before 5/2, it can't be completely not related right...

 

[coffeebean2]

they're really about to do it right before may 2 and give us 3 days to decide... 🤣

 

[brainperson1]

Wait how do you all know about the site maintenance? I don’t see anything about it on my portal.

 

[lakerslover777]

Wait how do you all know about the site maintenance? I don’t see anything about it on my portal.

should be right below the login fields at the login page (so not in the actual portal after you've logged in), in red

 

[mm2216]

Does anyone have any changes on their portal after the maintenance?

 

[coffeebean2]

no changes here, how much maintenance does this portal need hahaha

 

[macpuffmacpuff]

Another disappointing week?

 

[lakerslover777]

Another disappointing week?

maybe they’re waiting for the deadline to completely pass? that is my optimistic outlook at least 🙁

 

[nadal123]

It better be!!!!

 

[nadal123]

Pitt has never been this late …. Atleast last 3 years

 

[dudlee]

does it seem possible they’re not even going to admit from the WL this year?

 

[palmtree137]

Had this thought today and optimistically dismissing it🥲

 

[lakerslover777]

idk if we can take much stock in it but from the outside looking in, the num of ppl in the GroupMe at this pt of the cycle is way more than last yr... currently 200+ ppl in the GroupMe so idk, many prayers needed regardless though 🙁

ugh fingers crossed. it’s cruel to continue to drag us along like this after it’s already been months

I will say tho that at least 20+ members in the groupme are current pitt students and ppl have been slowly leaving, so I hope that provides a little bit of reassurance in this difficult time :')

 

[nadal123]

With Pitt not asking for deposit $ and giving financial packets this late, applicants will almost wait till tomorrow to drop

 

[TuckGamePerfect]

They overenrolled last year; it’s possible that they’re doing a more conservative WL movement protocol to prevent that from happening again. But yeah it does concern me that they told us to wait for April 15th and then May 2nd. It almost implies that they were anticipating more drops

 

[palmtree137]

I think this is a big factor. No real incentive for people to take Pitt of their list until the last day. No money involved to entice early withdraw. Will also be a trickle down effect with people waiting on other waitlists that could drop Pitt for another school after Monday. Definitely a lot still in play.

 

[nadal123]

It is way too quiet here…..sitting with 6 WL

 

[brainperson1]

Just added this page as a bookmark on my browser... hoping for news soon!

 

[sunrisedolphin]

I will continue to be optimistic since no major WL movement has occurred yet and PTE is officially May 2. Im anticipating news this week, likely May 3/4. Sending good vibes everyone’s way!

So applicants still have time till tomorrow to officially drop schools and hold only 1? Pitt has been crazy quiet….

Yeah CTE opened up this morning so hopefully we’ll see movement soon!

 

[nadal123]

Today?

 

[coffeebean2]

anything happen for anyone?

 

[nadal123]

Insanely quiet!!!🥲

 

[StruggleBusConductor]

All’s quiet on the eastern front. Today is the day after May 2 but there’s still shuffling to be had. If it gets to Friday then I’d be spooked. If there’s nothing by next Tuesday then we may have to look at alternatives to the alternate list. But until then my friends it’s nowhere near over.

 

[futuredoc002]

Any brave souls wanna call to see if they’ll give us any information about possible WL movement?😅

 

[palmtree137]

I know there are meetings this week about the new curriculum, so that may have some impact on WL turnaround...hopefully not too much though

Haha if it affects the WL that much we should be scared XD

True that!! All schools are quiet 😤

 

[macpuffmacpuff]

I called today.. they said they are at class size. Maybe something later in the month but they are at class size

 

[lakerslover777]

i have a feeling they're prob even "above" class size given how many ppl are in the groupme :/

 

[coffeebean2]

so this is really the first year of no pitt waitlist movement at all 🙁

 

[lakerslover777]

last yr was like that too though right, one wave in march w a majority being pstp WL -> A but still some regular MD reported; then silence after apr 30 even though everyone thought there would be movement but they were already above class size

 

[LargeSchwann]

I called today.. they said they are at class size. Maybe something later in the month but they are at class size

I am so sad :-( I had a handful of early interviews and was deferred/waitlisted on all of them. It stings when you were confident on your app, got lots of great feedback, and things just don't work out. That's life!

Feel like I got hit by a truck reading these. Saw this coming and didn't want to believe it. Wow does this hurt.

 

[TuckGamePerfect]

Do we think there's any chance of movement later this month?

I think the sad reality is that waitlist movement here can no longer be expected here in light of recent news. Small chance at most
