Oh shoot I forgot to send thank you emails as my interview was right before the holidays+life got hectic with a new job. How seriously do they take those?

I am pretty sure they do their interview assessments immediately after the interview! So I don't think they truly have any effect

my interview group was told that the ad com does like to see thank yous, so even if they now won't impact your interview assessments it might still be worth sending so they can be uploaded to your file if you have time 🙂

If by the holidays you mean near Thanksgiving I feel like it hasn't been too long to be awkward to send them now just in case/for peace of mind 🙂 You can always qualify it with a "please accept my apologies for the delay"

For the thank you emails, did you guys attached a doc for the thank you, or just wrote it in the email? Please let me know. Thank you.

Anyone who has attended the financial aid sessions, was anything about scholarships mentioned? I was under the impression that they didn't have merit scholarships.

Also, 54 days until decisions lets go!

Yeah no merit aid. From what they insinuated not much aid is provided and the encourage us getting outside scholarships

What outside scholarships exist 😂 I’ve seen some, but they are for first gens, minorities, veterans, etc. I don’t fall into any of those categories.
 
Pls give me good news in Jan Pitt so I can reply with the Mike Tomlin thumbs up GIF in this chat 🫶

There are plenty, a lot are for people interested in certain specialities, for medical students from certain geographic areas, etc. Google is your friend.

We only do need based aid here but it is what it is. For what its worth, I pay full sticker price and I think the education at Pitt is worth it.
 
I interviewed at Pitt in September and signed up for a few informational sessions thinking I can try to go but I’ve missed a couple since a lot of them are during my work hours. Would this reflect negatively on me?
 
I saw some people here already sent letter of intents. Is it worth it to do so pre-decision if we are pretty confident we would matriculate here if given the chance?

It is okay to send now if you are 100% sure it is your top choice and you will attend if admitted (letter of intent=100%, interest= top 3 from what I have been told). If you are not 100% sure, do not use the word intent and instead call it a letter of interest. I'm not sure benefit now vs after though.
 
Just signed up for a student group chat information session. It's during my work schedule. Is this event a camera on/buisness casual? Is it still hosted by Dr. Piraino?

do you guys think they go by order of app submission when reviewing PSTP apps?
 
Did yall get emails for the II or did you only find it in your portal?

quick question: As you guys know the portal for secondary app for pitt - does not have a function that an updated transcript is uploaded.

Also, the application checklist says "please provide a copy (PDF) of an official transcript directly to UPSOM"

so, should I send a transcript via Parchment or I send an email with pdf attachment ?
Click to expand...
woah my checklist doesn't even ask for that 🙁
 
lalaland0099 said:
well I'm a special program candidate. So, the process is different from the regular cycle. But, I just want to make sure if it is meant for me to send an email with official transcript attached or send it via Parchment.

That makes so much sense! 🙂 I wish you the best!!

did anybody apply to the PCAT program? if so, have you heard anything back?
Click to expand...
i did! i don't think we'll hear back until after January 31. during the information session, they mentioned that only those who are accepted or waitlisted initially will be invited for a PCAT interview.
 
Does anyone remember if they have in-house exams, use NBME, or both? Admit.org says in-house but during the interview day someone asked and I could swear it was NBME written exams.
