Bro are people just lying? His past sdn posts say he got an interview days ago with a 3.6 and 519

Wait where. All I see is him saying the same 506 stat. he did like a post of someone else getting an II at West Virginia? That might be the confusion

I honestly don’t think I’m that good of a writer, but thank you 😭 I do feel like I really showed that I wanted to attend UPitt

And if any of the mods want me to verify my stats & my no research EC, I would be glad to. I don’t condone people lying either (like the guy who said he had a 498…)
 
Has anybody had a problem with the "additional details page" on the secondary? The page will not save my responses and it has prevented me from submitting for several days - Ive called IT to no avail. I have tried different browsers, different devices, networks, and cleared my cookies. Specifically it wont save my answers to question 7 & 8 about military service 🙁
 
Does anyone know if interviewing earlier is a good sign for this school? I was looking at old threads and saw they waitlist a lot of people so I just want to be prepared for anything. Also any Pitt med students who have advice to give will be greatly appreciated
 
Advice I've heard from current students is that Pitt interviews are very conversational and an unexpected (at least to me) point that seems to come up a lot is why you are specifically interested in going to school in Pittsburgh. So be ready to talk about the city, not just the institution. Just what I've heard from other students there

And of course it is a very research focused school so be ready to talk about both the research you've done and the research you want to do there

Yes! What ended up working for me was just answering 7&8 (don’t put in your SSN, supposedly once you put it in the first time, it saves and then disappears so it’s not a security risk) and then saving! I swear I tried saving that page so many times, but the submission page kept saying just 7&8 was missing, so I tried just answering those two and it worked 😅
 
Is anyone else unable to access the zoom links for the informational sessions? I am interviewing 9/21 and selected the "curriculum" info session for today, 9/5. When I click the zoom link (in "interview management" under the secondary app) nothing happens.

This may be kind of a snarky response.... but it's 8/5 not 9/5. Could it be that you're trying to access it a month early before it's open?

oh my god. thank you for replying before I emailed admissions. what can I say, I'm living in the future!!! no wonder I thought I missed my friend's birthday this morning? my brain is mush from secondaries lol
 
For those applying to the PSTP, how much did you write for the faculty member you were interested in? The box is so small so I was thinking only 1-2 sentences, but I could definitely write a lot more reasons for the specific person I chose.
 
does anyone know how they consider applicants for the PSTP program? are you considered for MD first then PSTP? and if you get rejected from PSTP do you still get an MD seat?

They say on their website that each program is considered a separate application and reviewed by different people. So if you are rejected from the PSTP program you could still get a MD acceptance and vice versa. I believe you also have the chance to be accepted into both or rejected from both
 
Did anyone have trouble completing the "Additional Details" page of the secondary? For some reason it is the only portion in which clicking "save" or "save and continue" doesn't save my responses. Not sure why this won't go through despite all of the fields being filled!
