hm I was told almost all applicants who received a PSTP II were either accepted or waitlisted (bc they said they wanted to be efficient w who they interview) so I think there's a very low chance of a rejection, but they said waitlist is highly possible or an A
Ok slay bestie praying for us and everyone else in this thread!!!!

Has anyone received a PCAT interview? I got the email to hold the interview date, but no additional information.
I kinda want the portal to update and show something different under "Application status" so it can feel more real that decisions are coming next week.
About 30 II’s sent out each year (out of 200 applications on average for the past few years)

Pitt! Just a week away! Can you believe it guys? Pitt! Just a week away!
My neurotic pre-med question of the day: No one has any vibe for the ~time~ decisions will come out right? Maybe someone is even more neurotic than me and got vibes from past year threads... I wish they time stamped the posts on here (seems the time of day disappears from the stamp over time).

How’d you find the times for 2023 and 2024? Doesn’t the time stamp disappear?

The times are based on the first post on SDN about an admissions decision, so I just went to those years' threads on my laptop, hovered my mouse over the date, and the exact time appeared
You are an absolute king/queen/royalty for this, friend. Rooting for you!!

Maybe like a day or two. But I doubt they are releasing today, because last year they were noticing portal changes like a day or two before the decisions came out and we have not seen any of that

What changes do we usually see in the portal before decisions come out?

Decisions being released a little early honestly sounds great so we’re not 💩ing bricks refreshing our portals on Friday

In past years the “your application is complete and under review” glitches to be a line above “supplemental application status” in the app status tab

Looking back it’s historically been fridays that they release decisions so it’s likely we won’t get it till the 31st unless something changes from previous years

Ty now I’m gonna be incessantly checking my portal to see a change [emoji88]

Apparently they fixed it so it wouldn't happen again (I remember reading that in a thread at one point, idk)

Even more suspenseful, I like it
I bet one of us neurotic people will find a new glitch this year 😉

Amen. The benefit to a trend of decisions being released early is that I won’t just be refreshing all day Friday, but all week rather 💪🥵 (I’m touching grass between refreshes, don’t worry everyone)

how it feels entering decision week
hm I'm not sure about MD-accepted students, but they said they do for PSTP accepted folks
They do not fly out MD, Pitt is arguably the stingiest t20 school and terrible on the financial aid front as well.
Do you remember where you saw this?

this is going to be such a long week… i am feeling so anxious since pitt is my actual dream school [emoji21]
same here! the wait has been so rough

If it helps, you’re not alone. Lot of nerves swimming around these shoulders. While I’d obviously prefer WL over an R, the idea of waiting until May/June to hear any change is pretty crushing. Feel free to DM and rant if need be!
Same here and it may be my *only* choice... I interviewed in August...this has been torture...
omg I feel that, I interviewed in early September and a countdown has been going since then

Same since it’s my only II but I interviewed in December so the wait hasn’t been too bad… fingers crossed for the both of us

I am refusing to let myself use that logic and so should you! I got "continued review" from a much lower tier school which I could let spook me, but each school has such different things they are looking for that you really can't compare your chances in my opinion. I think Pitt is really big on fit which will hopefully benefit us. And I am not sure about what your other school is, but no news is better than a rejection! Fingers crossed for us all!

They only interview around ten percent of applicants, so they definitely saw something in you out of their sea of applicants and thought you were deserving. I’m rooting for you!

some people interview with 10+ schools, some only get 1. it only takes 1 guys.
