I ended up switching to the one on January 10th

Might have to do that too. I’m guessing if it’s a network issue the host is having trouble joining

 

[ChocolateCookieCake]

Thanks for looking into the problem and emailing them! They're probably having trouble joining since we're 30 mins in. I ended up switching to the Jan 10th date as well lol

I do, I’ll DM you

 

[oatmilkplease]

Any PSTP IIs today?

 

[NotADoctor1]

I do, I’ll DM you

Could you DM me too? Thanks!

 

[thetimehascome21]

Any PSTP IIs today?

not yet for me 🙁

 

[BreadMan]

Timeline update just went out for PSTP

 

[oatmilkplease]

Anyone still seeing "Ready For Screening" for PSTP?

 

[oatmilkplease]

PSTP R :/

 

[thetimehascome21]

PSTP R :/

+1 :/

 

[z123456789]

+1 :/

+1 R

 

[thetimehascome21]

Curious whether the people who didn't have "under review" have now had a status change, or whether we think the "Under Review" still means there is a good chance for MD acceptance or waitlist consideration

Where would you find this status?

 

[shortvanilla]

Where would you find this status?

+1. Mine just says "MD Interview scheduled," but I interviewed back in November.

 

[moonshapedpooll]

i was and still am "under review" for PSTP, and have heard no news so far

 

[shortvanilla]

+1. Mine just says "MD Interview scheduled," but I interviewed back in November.

I applied for PCAT and mine still says "Invited to complete supplemental application" but I submitted over two months ago.

 

[thetimehascome21]

Does a PSTP R imply you’re not getting into Pitt?

What people were saying earlier is that if you were “under review” for a PSTP interview, that you were still being considered for MD program. Now, not sure. I think we have to keep in mind that they only interview ~30 students for the PSTP program, so I don’t think it would imply we don’t have a chance

 

[thetimehascome21]

Where would you find this status?

Under application status, at the bottom is the pstp info

 

[Pipi&Pomegranate]

PSTP II just now! Thrilled!!

 

[BreadMan]

PSTP R

Would anybody with an II mind sharing their research experiences (even if vague for anonymity)

 

[thetimehascome21]

may I ask when you submitted your pstp app?

10/14

 

[Semsemrocks]

Does a PSTP R imply you’re not getting into Pitt?

I think they are completely separate. You can get off the waitlist for Pitt if you get an A from PSTP. But I don’t think an R from PSTP means you have been rejected from Pitt.

 

[moonshapedpooll]

agreed, however an II for PSTP does for sure mean that you are either accepted or waitlisted for regular MD

 

[almostemdee]

PSTP II

 

[oatmilkplease]

I have "Your MD application is complete and under review." for my regular MD app status

 

[moonshapedpooll]

will they send more pstp IIs after today?

 

[kaleidoscope1202]

I applied for PCAT and mine still says "Invited to complete supplemental application" but I submitted over two months ago.

Yeah mine says the same thing! Is anyone else have the same status that applied to PCAT?

Do we know when they are sending II’s for PCAT?

 

[ChacoHiker]

will they send more pstp IIs after today?

Also wondering this...

 

[thetimehascome21]

i think i need to lower my expectations for pitt now with such a quick PSTP II Rejection 🙁 I wish I could find someone from last year who was rejected PSTP but accepted MD

 

[shortvanilla]

Yeah mine says the same thing! Is anyone else have the same status that applied to PCAT?

Do we know when they are sending II’s for PCAT?

I think February, right? Just curious to see if it will be before or after Pitt releases decisions.

Yup lmao I just went on the same deep dive

 

[danty20]

Yup lmao I just went on the same deep dive

^^yes, any current students here rejected from pstp, then got in?

 

[kaleidoscope1202]

I think February, right? Just curious to see if it will be before or after Pitt releases decisions.

Yeah that’s what I’m thinking about too. They say Pitt releases the decisions February 16th and as of next Friday the interview cycle for just the traditional MD will be done.

I really want them to release decisions sooner or send the PCAT II’s out (interviewed 10/13)

 

[Semsemrocks]

I have "Your MD application is complete and under review." for my regular MD app status

Me too and I didn’t apply pstp

 

[bumblebee123456789]

^^yes, any current students here rejected from pstp, then got in?

The application processes are completely separate. Your PTSP decision is 100% separate from MD UNLESS you are WL MD and accepted PTSP. Then, you are more likely to get pulled off MD WL.

In other words, PSTP rejection, as far as I know, means absolutely nothing for your MD decision.

 

[yipman20]

Do any MSTP applicants remember when they said we should expect decisions to be sent out?
