Looks like very small amount of WL movement last year though
?? 65 is just over 40% of the class.

Do you think PSTP interviewees mostly get waitlisted? And they leave the decision up to PSTP comittee. I’m guessing they reserve a certain amount of seats for PSTP.

Yeah, I'm saying that number might not be accurate according to the admission office last year
+1 WL
If anything, I’d imagine it’s more. According to the admissions website, the class size is 153 and it says 295 were accepted last year.

It's normal for schools to accept double their class size. All I'm saying is that there wasn't a lot of wait-list movement for the last couple years because they filled their class early. Hopefully it is different this year.

Waitlist! Interviewed late September.
Right, but from my understanding in the initial wave they aren't accepting more than they can fit in the class. That number is usually so high because that's what they end up accepting when all is said and done in August. You're saying the past couple years there hasn't been much movement. What is that based off of? Where is that information?

WL- interviewed early September
A I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😭😭😭
Waitlist, interviewed mid-October. I'm so disappointed - I thought this interview went really well. The waiting and uncertainty is really getting to me this cycle
WL!

I read last year's thread where they called the admissions office
Gotcha. Yea, I read the same, but I think it also makes sense that they were giving general answers and SDN is a small sample size. We don't know who or how many actually got in off the waitlist. Maybe I'm just optimistic haha.

WL here!
Pretty disappointed, my sixth WL! But hopeful as always for good things to come.
While I'm here... does anyone know about the PCAT and whether or not they're interviewing for it?

this says its a 2 tiered waitlist. maybe we will get an email about it?
Allegedly only 15 hours of synchronous instruction time per week does not sound too daunting, except for the need for more self directed learning/study time. Granted they have not actually released most of the actual plan yet but a lot of schools have been moving to PBL rather than traditional lectures

I've always emailed admin asking if they are able to tell me where I am on the waitlist. But so far at everywhere else, I've always been told it's unranked (not helpful). But I still think it's worth asking Pitt about and is a normal question to ask admin as long as you're polite!

This ratio makes me wonder if they
a. Interviewed a lot more students this year
b. Only accepted the number of students for the number of spots.
I was expecting that they interviewed approx 700 students for 150 spots and would accept ~300 (43%). These numbers would lead me to believe they accepted 150 (21.5%) which would lead to a 4:1 ratio of accepted to not accepted (wl or rejected).
I have no facts to back this up but just my brain dump.
+1 Waitlisted
They probably interviewed north of 900 like they did last year, but probably only accepted ~150 off the bat because i think they learned from their mistake of initially over accepting 2 years ago (based on comments from that cycle's thread)
OOS A
+1 OOS A!

in my portal it says a financial aid packet should be emailed shortly, based on previous cycles should i interpret that as today or in the near future?
I could be totally wrong but if everything's due March 1st, I doubt they would give out awards before like mid/late March.
