Basically was just under an hour. About 40-45 minutes of information, and then time for questions.
Did people who were already interviewed find out who their interviewers were in advance?

I emailed them too, I have a feeling they will be inundated ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I called and they said everyone is having issues. They sent me a separate zoom link in an email to see if that would solve the problem but for me it did not... They said they would try to reschedule for the future if they can't get it sorted
just received PSTP II

PSTP II today, scheduled for Feb 3. Virtual but they are sending us GrubHub gift cards <3
I received the PSTP II yesterday! Does anyone know if getting a PSTP II means you were accepted/waitlisted from the regular MD program? Since PSTP cannot accept people that were rejected from the main program, I was thinking they would only send IIs to people that were going to be accepted/waitlisted.

Is anyone with a PSTP II comfortable sharing basic stats? Congrats to yall, just curious about my chances since I applied on a whim.
That is what I read in some publication on UPitt PSTP program.

They said that exactly at the PSTP info session I attended. I also remember on my interview day adcom saying they accept or waitlist 99% of interviewed applicants, rejection after II is rare.
The PSTP Admissions Committee considers individuals who have been accepted or wait-listed by Pitt SOM and invites select
PSTP applicants for interviews in January prior to their matriculation into medical school.

Can someone confirm or deny my suspicion: Website says MD interview season ends January 13th. If I haven't received any status update or whatever on my portal, I'm assuming I won't get an interview at this point?

I'm no adcom, decision day is about a month away at this point. I'd guess that they're probably shifting their efforts toward making final decisions on all the previous interviewees-- though I suppose more IIs could go out in the next few days for interviews at the end of this month or early Feb. Probably unlikely tho, but what do i know

do they accept update letters post II? I can't find anything specific about them online and there does not appear to be anywhere to upload on my portal>

Decisions are officially one month away from today!
For anyone who interviewed on 1/12 - they encouraged us to send in update letters to the admissions email so I sent one in on Monday. Jw if anyone submitted one and if so did you receive a confirmation email?

I sent one. They did not reply, but it showed up in my portal under the 'Application Status' tab
Can confirm this, unfortunately. I interviewed in January and the adcom said 1/13 was the last interview day of the cycle.

Yes! I also sent one to my student interviewer
in Sep, one week after getting II for MD.
PSTP II received just now 🙂
PSTP rejection just now 🙁 . Bummed cuz I thought I was a good fit for the program and was really excited about it. I just interviewed at Pitt last week and felt good about the II. Hope this doesn't mean I messed it up! Congrats to all who received IIs!

Do you think this year will be like in years past where they release decisions on the portal a few days in advance? 
Probably not, especially since they delayed the decision date a few times this cycle already. Usually the decisions come out on Friday's anyway and they have it scheduled for a Friday this year.Do you think this year will be like in years past where they release decisions on the portal a few days in advance?
I think the portal was updated around 2pm last year on January 28th when the 'official' date was the 31st
Has anyone interviewed with PSTP? How were the interview vibes in general? Anything to keep in mind?

Does everyone see the new tab in the portal for campus visit?
I do, but don't give me that kind of hope
Looks like they are planning on March and April visitation days:

I have it, but I'm wondering if it's just for all interviewees. does anyone not have it?
I’ve got the tab too, but I think I noticed it a while back, too. Still, I’ll channel all my good thoughts to that tab!
