I was complete on 7/14 so I’m hoping for an interview as well but I don’t know about my stats

does anyone know if pitt sends out II in order of submission date? or is it random?

I've been watching this thread and so far it has been in order. First 7/10, then 7/11, and then 7/12 today. I was complete 7/13 so 🤞🤞🤞
 
anecotally, i went to pitt for undergrad and was told by someone on the admissions committee that they typically offer interviews to those with higher stats first, and then go back. not sure how true it is

Me with my LM 82 and 7/11 submission date: 😰
 
For the like courses you just put what's required right? I don't need to list like a bunch of bio they just care about what's required? It always freaks me out when there's so many boxes.
 
oooohhh i had a gut feeling checking this thread today wasn't going to help my anxieties 😭

jokes aside - congrats to everyone who got a II so far!
 
Is anyone having difficulty scheduling an interview? I attached a photo and it said it wasn't uploaded.

Any tips on how to stop freakin out? I'm playing like the worst possible scenarios in my head like a bad LOR, etc 😅 I know it's only July but...

I'm just going to try to do things I enjoy to keep my mind off medical school stuff. I have email notifications on my phone, so I don't need to sit at my computer and refresh my email 100 times a day (I think this really helps).
 
Haven’t done a statistical analysis but considering it’s not even august yet, the percentage of people in this thread who commented pre secondary submission and who now already have interviews at Pitt is astonishing to me. Certainly means this thread is not representative of the average applicant pool 😂
 
Just to ease some of you fellow 7/11 submitters, it's likely a chunk of applications were put in a "revisit later" pile. From what I understand, many medical schools make a couple of rounds through the applicant pool throughout the cycle. I believe someone mentioned something similar on this thread. I'm assuming many of these early IIs are being sent to high-stat applicants who are great mission fits. The cycle is only just beginning, no need to panic in July

Yeah I know not all hope is lost yet and it's possible to receive an II even after my submission date seems to have been "passed up," but as a high-stat applicant whose strongest EC area is research, it sure would feel nice to get an early II and feel that Pitt really liked me enough to instantly invite me instead of having some hesitation.

515, 3.91 GPA, 3.93 sGPA - where are my other homies at without an II. Honestly, everyone remember to take it easy as the cycle is still fresh

I see your point that you want to be wanted. But honestly any interview in July and August would be early. Plus, I'm not sure if there is such a thing as yield protection at a T20, but based on your LM and WARS, if they think that you'll get 2-3 interviews from T10s, they might not even waste their time with a 524/525, particularly if research is your strong-suit as well. Or at least that'd be my rationalization if I was in your shoes, lol.

My research is decently strong, but not strong enough to get yielded out from Pitt imo. T10-T25 was sort of the sweet spot or the best case scenario that I was imagining for my cycle if I get lucky and everything works out. Maybe I'll tell myself that I got yielded out to cope though lol

I haven't received any II so far! The LM is 77 and WARS is above 95. I submitted everything on 7/12. I'm uncertain about the potential outcome. Given your past experience, what do you think? Should I anticipate receiving it, or should I consider it yield protected? (to console myself)

Seems to me like it is by both submission and MCAT score. It seems like the ppl already getting IIs are 520+ and only recently someone with 518 said +II, so if I had to guess, I imagine they do it by batches and start by highest mcat
