I believe everyone gets the tab. It's similar as the PTSP interview tab where even non-PTSP applicants can see it.
For what it's worth, I think I also remember having an "Interview Management" tab well before getting an interview.

SAME! I'm a Pittsburgh native and went to Pitt for undergrad so if I get rejected, it will literally be like Cristiano Ronaldo kicking my lower extremities.....
Does Pitt admitt more Pitt graduates/ undergraduates, given they have comparable applications to other candidates?
I have it too, and I'm also curious if there is anybody who interviewed who does not see it.
Earlier I saw 2017/2018 list of medical admissions of Upitt. 62 in 2017 and 49 in 2018 Upitt students got A into UPMC (matriculated is a different number). Since UPMC takes around 40% IS, that could be another factor as well.

The large instate % is probably also because Pennsylvania doesn’t have any state schools. So the private schools kind of have to fill that role I’d imagine. Doesn’t help that 2 of those schools (UPenn and UPitt) are T20s and very competitive.
Thank you for your insight. Excited and nervous for the 17th 🙂. Wishing everyone the best!!

Agreed. It does not help to have 2 med schools in the top ranks.

How does PITT typically announce decisions? Phone calls or emails? Good luck to all!
According to last year's thread, it's email/portal. No phone calls.
They told us that on the 17th they will update the portal and upload a dummy website while doing so. Apparently this is how people know exactly when they are going to hear haha. They will also send an email once the portal is updated. They also send admissions decisions via regular mail which I think is so wholesome 🙂

Has anyone noticed a recent change to the portal?
Under application status, "Your MD Application is complete and under review" is above the bolded "Supplemental Application Status" as opposed to beside it. Has it always been like this?
Last year this occured the day before decisions were released, but I can't remember if it has been like this for a while or if it changed recently.

Mine looks like that too. Although I don't check the portal much so I can't attest to it being a difference from before.
i think they suggest sending prior to interview or after decision release, so at this point wait and send an update/intent letter if you end up on the WL in 2 weeks
they told us that they promised it would be reviewed! I dont think they would highly encourage it if they didnt want to see it

I feel more impatient than ever but terrified at the same time lolWaiting for Pitt decisions like
OMG SAMEEEEEEE 😵
My app status reverted to "complete and under review" after having an Early Decision Acceptance, after a minor heart attack i confirmed with admissions that nothing has changed as far as my app goes, and they also confirmed all decisions will be released on the 17th
Waiting for Pitt decisions like
The waiting is the hardest part.
This is thinking a bit ahead, but I was looking at last year's sdn thread and apparently Pitt seems to give need-based aid? Does anyone know how that's decided? I would think that most of us have 'need' because we're mostly taking out loans to pay for med school right?

FAFSA as well as a secondary financial aid application. Its mainly family income (even if you are independent).

I looked at the threads multiple years back and it's always a different time. I don't think we can predict it. It is gonna be some random time and we are going to have to rely on someone coming on SDN and posting about it to know it is out.

Mine just says “Campus visits are only available to admitted applicants.” Looks the same.
update as in?
Didn't know if it updated for everyone or not, mine has a message about being accepted and the schedule. I wouldn't be discouraged if it says "accepted students only" for anyone still
Thought it may have updated for people that will be accepted Friday, but maybe that's just wishful thinking.

Woooo thanks for the 9 AM jumpscare xD but seriously thank you for letting us know! It's probably diff for non-ED people. However, I wouldn't be 100% surprised if decisions drop tomorrow instead of Friday, since that seemed to happen in one of the previous cycles (Friday -> Wednesday)
Mine says the same " campus visits are only available to admitted". My roommate's says " decision pending". She does not have the campus visits are only available to admitted message.
got it. i have the same message as you ab visits only being available to accepted students
