dumb question but do you guys think now is too late to upload another rec letter :')

+1 was also thinking this, maybe if you have significant news

Hmm wait, do you think they accept updated letters of rec (say, from a PI for example)

 

[signomiii]

I think they do bc one of the students at a panel said they think sending another ref letter is what got her off the waitlist. I’d check the website though

Also at this point I would probably just wait until after decisions to send anything, I don’t think they’re making huge changes 1 week before release but what do I know

this makes sense, thanks!

Not to freak anybody out by my portal def looks different, like the "Your MD Application is complete and under review." moved over to the left (or I guess a line above where it was before?)

Is this normally a precursor to decisions coming out or something?

 

[sparky21]

wasn’t there some sort of portal spoof last year right before decisions

 

[oatmilkplease]

No clue, did it change for you too?

was it on the right before

 

[oatmilkplease]

was it on the right before

I believe it was on the same line as "Supplemental Application Status:", whereas now its one line above for me

 

[biscuit28]

Last year I believe this happened 1-2 weeks before decisions were released, but the year prior this happened the day before decisions were released. So I think it just means decisions are coming out soon but how soon is anyone’s guess🤣

 

[bumblebee123456789]

Guys pls I can’t do this today lol 🥲🥲

 

[bumblebee123456789]

I think our decisions are in the portal and all they need to do is hit a button

 

[Semsemrocks]

Not the dean telling us during our interview day to not look at these little things on the portal lol she knows that people freaked out in previous years about small changes haha

last year people were inspecting the source code of the website lmao

 

[kaleidoscope1202]

Imagine they actually release it today

 

[Semsemrocks]

last year people were inspecting the source code of the website lmao

Omg that’s crazy

 

[oatmilkplease]

last year people were inspecting the source code of the website lmao

I'm ngl I tried this too

 

[sparky21]

just release them already and put me out of this suffering !!!

 

[Semsemrocks]

If it helps, we are supposed to get an email when there is an update to our portal haha

Until that email comes in though… I’m gonna be stressing

Based on past years they're usually early. Stealing this from past years thread but

PITT DECISIONS

2014 Jan 31 - Friday - 8:18 am - 0 days early
2015 Jan 29 - Thursday - 2:27 pm - 2 days early
2016 Jan 28 - Thursday - 5:02 pm - 3 days early
2017 Jan 30 - Monday - 4:25 pm - 1 day early
2018 Jan 30 - Tuesday - 8:26 am - 1 day early
2019 Jan 25- Friday - 10:01 am - 6 days early
2020 Jan 29 - Wednesday - 1:44 pm - 2 days early
2021 Feb 19 - Friday (I can't find time) 0 days early
2022 Jan 28 - 3 days early
2023 Feb 17 - 0 days early

last two i did myself and idk how the other people knew exact times lol

it is highly unlikely decisions will be released more than 3-4 days early. stop stressin and wait for the emails (coming from me who just stalked the past several years SDN thread)

Looks like decisions have been released on a Friday for the last 3 years, wonder if it’ll be consistent this year

And do you check the portal every day?
do we know the decision change occurred as of today? I don’t regularly check mine so can’t speak on this

 

[oatmilkplease]

I check it fairly frequently but I don't think I checked yesterday. So yeah its a rough estimate

 

[kaleidoscope1202]

So there was a portal change?

 

[oatmilkplease]

So there was a portal change?

Yeah, its def different than what it was before and is in line with the change that people have reported in previous years. Do you see it?

My computer literally started acting up today so idek

 

[oatmilkplease]

This is what it looks like for me rn, whereas before these two lines were on the same line

Ohhhh so the status is missing

 

[bumblebee123456789]

Ohhhh so the status is missing

It’s not missing, it’s the there but just one line above where it should be lol

 

[madamemichaelscott]

I checked my status this morning and my status was to the right of "Supplemental Application Status." I just checked now and it has moved to being above the "Supplemental Application Status" so the change was def today and we might hear back this Friday...

hahahaha wait how does this mean that we will hear this friday? mine changed too

 

[kaleidoscope1202]

Damn that would be crazy if we did. I thought portal changes happen like two days before or so

 

[madamemichaelscott]

hahahaha wait how does this mean that we will hear this friday? mine changed too

I'm just guessing bc decisions have come out on Fridays the past 3 years and the portal changes a few days before haha. No clue tho!

 

[sparky21]

Is the change of the status location the same change that happened the past few years?

 

[yourgfgf]

I’m simultaneously amazed by all your detective work but also incredibly stressed thinking about decisions coming out in two days

 

[madamemichaelscott]

Is the change of the status location the same change that happened the past few years?

Yes, some reported this exact change last year but I've also seen people in past threads claim that an extra line/space appeared in their status. I think the portal goes down after a change appears and then the decisions finally come out.

 

[NYCandalsoChicago]

AHHHH scary

 

[shortvanilla]

Thanks guys. Now I feel like throwing up my lunch 😍😍

 

[ilovepinkpantheress]

I’m simultaneously amazed by all your detective work but also incredibly stressed thinking about decisions coming out in two days

rip to your spa day if it actually comes out in 2 days

 

[oatmilkplease]

I think it'll be 2/16 tbh since that's also a Friday and much closer to the date we're expecting

 

[madamemichaelscott]

I think it'll be 2/16 tbh since that's also a Friday and much closer to the date we're expecting

Yeah tbh watch it be 2/16 and we all just anticipate decisions and become paralyzed for the next 9 days

 

[kaleidoscope1202]

I think it'll be 2/16 tbh since that's also a Friday and much closer to the date we're expecting

Yeah 2/16 is when they’re supposed to release it

 

[pr12]

at this point i’ve accepted that they’re gonna come out when they come out

 

[sparky21]

anyone know how pitts WL movement typically is ?

 

[bumblebee123456789]

Pitt med insta keeps posting stories. Should I swipe up and ask them?
