If this doesn't perfectly sum up the term "neurotic premed" I don't know what does

Broooo I rlly just can’t believe it I thought I had screwed up this particular interview 😭😭😭 (but also i am very neurotic and ashamed of it 😔)
also shoutout @ClashRoyaleKing, you keeping watch over the portal last night was hella funny😭 you’re the life of this thread. I’m sorry to hear about your Pitt decision but any med school would be lucky to have you and you’re gonna be a DOCTOR regardless

I’m assuming there’s gonna be more info once they send the email
Yes I can!
They don’t really offer merit, from what I have heard. If you plan on attending, look into state and county level scholarships for med students and other third party scholarships.

I already sent an update letter/letter of intent in December. Since I got the WL, do yall think it would be beneficial to send another LOI in like March or April or is that too annoying?
I don't see anything wrong with sending it now. They might start reviewing candidates earlier than you think.
I'm a current pitt m4.. No merit scholarships. Only need-based and the amount is highly variable based on you/your parent's income. I'm paying full sticker price and I think the education is fantastic and worth it.

I wouldn't stress too much about it. Just make sure you let others speak and be respectful. Also just be reasonable with your response and you should be fine. I accidently said NDA instead of DNR and was mortified...but ended up with the A anyways, so just relax and be yourself.

Does anyone know if Pitt's WL is ranked or unranked? If it's ranked, would they disclose our rank on the waitlist if we request them?
From past threads, I think there are two tiers. Not sure if they would disclose that information, but it probably doesn't hurt to ask.
Same here 🫡

But maybe it could be nice if someone wanted to set one up anyway.... On last year's thread, people didn't get one until March

Can anyone confirm that there is no place to formally accept the admission offer? I know for other schools there was a button to accept or withdraw but I could not find that on the portal.

I’m just joking, I’m assuming we hear more in the next email that’s supposed to be sent out soon
Damn I’m sorry did you send updates?

I think we have to wait until the nineteenth when AMCAS’ choose your medical school tool opens. Then we can plan to enroll

Emailed them today and received this response FYI!:
"While each application is given thorough consideration, committee members do not specifically note areas of strengths or weaknesses for each applicant. We would encourage you to contact your Health Professions advisor for this type of feedback."

Just out of curiosity, does anyone know what advantage the prologue to medicine program gives to those who attend? Or how much will we lose out if we skip out on it (given it is optional)? I afraid of missing out on a potentially amazing opportunity.
And does anyone know how/who they select for this program (i know its only 25 max participants - but how do they pick those people)?

The Group Mes are always student created, admin does not make or monitor them. Whichever one you have going already will probably become the main chat for your cohort, or at least that's how it has been for all the current students (current M1). When Second Look and orientation get closer some rising M2s will probably ask to be added and drop in to answer questions and share information informally.
