UPSOM is actively breaking into T10 programs. I would not worry about this for a second

Yeah, what this person said^^
Got my physical mail copy of my WL decision today and Pitt told me I’m fine 😉

2 weeks, it says on the letter 🙂 hope you get it soon bro
Thank you!
Sorry, back again with another question haha for admitted students. I submitted the forms by saving them but when I log back online they aren’t saved. Is this happening for others?
OK, great! Was just making sure, thank you!

Did everyone with an A to Pitt get the "Prologue to Medicine Program" email? Trying to figure out whether the program invitation was sent to select students or simply everyone with an A.

Got one as well, but not sure either if it was sent to everyone with an A

I believe so! Also, there's a GroupMe for accepted students if you want more info!

Got an A from Pitt during the last wave but the school isnt showing up in my "Choose your Medical School" tool via AMCAS. Anyone else in the same boat?

on the waitlist but same
I don’t think it shows up if you’re waitlisted? At least that’s what the amcas email made it sound like. Does anyone know how it works?
It does show up if you’re waitlisted, I’m on 2 other waitlists and they showed up as alternate list

This is great, thank you! Looks like 65 people are typically accepted off the waitlist here so no need to speculate anymore lol
Sameee
It is showing up now. Check that you have completed the portal form.

My interviews were pretty chill! I think it could vary between the different programs but my interviews were 40 minutes, mostly just get to know you and your motivation for choosing the specialty. Compared to other interviews it was much more relaxed, no trick questions.
Thanks so much for your response!

I am not sure if this has been said, but when should we expect any waitlist movement?

Anyone get an "Activate Your University of Pittsburgh Account" email? Some of the questions for activating the account seem odd, like they're for the undergraduate program (i.e. what term/campus etc. you applied for). So now I'm not sure if it's something we actually need to do haha.
For those applying for financial aid, has anyone net received anything from IDOC? I know the deadline for materials was 3/1/24, so I am a bit stressed that even though I submitted the FAFSA and CSS before the deadline, I have not been able to submit the materials for IDOC since it hasn't been generated by the school.
u should withdraw from cornell too XDDDDD
Does anyone know if Pitt ranks their waitlist and if you can inquire about where you are on their list? And if they do rank you, can sending a letter of intent move up your ranking number?
If it’s a good update then send it! If it’s not anything important and you’re just trying to put something together to send an update letter for the sake of sending something else then probably not.

Btw in case anyone is curious, I emailed them and they said the waitlist is not ranked.
So then how does waitlist movement work?

It means they pull someone from the waitlist that has the most similar profile to whoever dropped (instead of just highest stats/interview score). For example, if someone in-state with a lot of volunteering hours instead of research who plays the guitar drops, then they try to find someone like that
They didn’t say/I didn’t ask for specifics, but if it’s like another school that I’m waitlisted at with an unranked waitlist they probably try to fill spots to keep their class diverse in whatever way that means for them. And they review everyone again when deciding who to admit off the waitlist.

Anyone know when they send official groupme/Fb group info so we can ask current students questions?
