Also interested in this!

 

[wwggad]

Does anyone have any insight on the additional info sessions we can sign up for? Do they require active attention (camera and mic on) or is it passive enough that I can just tune in and listen while I'm at work?

How did you guys sign up for an information session? I can't find anything about it anywhere. 🙁

It’s only available for people who have received IIs.

The PSTP program requires 2 LOR's from research mentors for consideration, but what if I only have worked for one lab?

 

[kaori_ono]

Do you have to be invited for an interview to complete the PSTP program? I am interested but it seems no further action is required on my end from the portal

Yes, they send you additional info when you get the II

Aw, ok. However I will still be considered for regular MD right?

 

[CaptNemo]

At what point should I consider Pitt a soft R? Because I completed my app all the way back in July and still not a word rip 😢

I’m in the same place but I submitted in June 😢

 

[Left Skewed]

I indicated that I am not interested in PSTP but got an email about it still along with my II. Anyone else? Not sure if this means they are encouraging an app

+1, I think they are trying to promote awareness about it among applicants.

I would ask a post doc in your lab to write one if possible. If not, then someone (a professor, etc) that can speak on your ability to problem solve and potential for a physician-scientist; someone who wants to impact the community through research. I hope this helps!

Thank you!

Since they do not release the final list until Jan, I presume later interviews do not have any disadvantage as they can be inserted in the list anywhere.

Do anyone have stats on what their preference is for IS and also for UPitt students?

I believe pitt's class profile says that last year their class was 30% IS. afaik, Pennsylvania schools as a whole don't really have as strong of an IS preference as, say, Texas schools. So if you're OOS and interested def apply

submited early July, where II?

I signed up for one today but will be at work and likely unable to have my camera on. Should I remove it from my schedule?

Yesterday's session had ~40 people and ~10 had cameras off. Mics off unless you had a question.

 

[immaterialgirls]

[mountain_gurl]

Pre-II R as well. 🙁 I was complete 6/28

 

[LeeSin]

Same here

 

[deleted1130038]

Pre-II R loOOOOL

 

[officially_apostate]

Damn big R wave

Right? Makes me nervous. R's to those that completed early too, so seems like they're going in order.

 

[samgam]

Another pre-II R completed 6/28. Good luck to those still in the running!

 

[MissingCalifornia]

Does this mean they're done sending IIs? I only ask because last cycle, once they started with the chronological Rs, there were pretty much no more new reports of IIs. 🙁

 

[kaori_ono]

Anyone completed after 7/15 got an R? I’m scared

"Our Admissions Committee has carefully reviewed the more than 8,400 applications we have received to identify the candidates whose aspirations and accomplishments will prepare them for a successful and rewarding experience as a student at our medical school."
This is what the email said, so I'm guessing if you've applied already, you can expect some decision soon!
