i looked at last year's thread and the same thing happened but looks like it was just a weird glitch so there's probably no meaning behind it. last year they didnt pull anyone off the waitlist until may.
Agreed. That said, it looks like most of those who first noticed it sent letters of intent (me included), and, at different times, ultimately got off 👀 idk if there’s some sort of order effect here or if it’s just a silly coincidence but there’s certainly hope to be had for everyone here!
 
Does anyone know if they review all the waitlist applicants? Or do they only review certain ones based on internal rankings?

not 100% sure but I think I read somewhere that they don't have a ranked waitlist (or at least not when they originally assign people to the waitlist). Then they reevaluate in the spring, so I'm assuming they review everyone with new info like letters taken into account then make decisions about who to admit?
 
And just like that, it's back to the original waitlist message. Sooo...what did u think Pitt? <3
Same for me- I'd like to think that it means they're starting to review the WL and get things moving but could just be a glitch as others have mentioned🫠

I don't see why it wouldn't mean that--the timing definitely makes sense. Them saying it's a "glitch" could just mean that there's an unintended portal change when they open it for review. However, I still wouldn't expect much movement until May
 
I wonder if anyone who didn’t have the “glitch” got off the WL last year, wish I wouldn’t have learned about it now I just feel neurotic and bummed LOL. I so need to touch grass

i was being crazy and stalking everyone who posted and someone who didn’t have the glitch got off in mid may
 
Did anyone else see "under review" in the portal after March 31st when people first noticed it? Just wondering if they're still actively reviewing apps
 
The review status glitch happened on my portal on March 31st and my CYMS time stamp updated to April 2nd too...does this mean what I think it means...
 
Curious if anyone knows if Pitt matches offers from similarly ranked programs. I'm planning on attending a program that is half the cost (tuition scholarship covering 2/3 of tuition), but am considering asking Pitt if they match. Any advice appreciated 🙂
 
Does anyone know if we will be notified if we get off the waitlist? Or do we just have to check the portal everyday haha

I asked and they said no because they offer best aid upfront
 
Has anyone else’s date on CYMS or status on the portal changed since the first time people noticed it?
 
Groupme appears to have 154 members currently :/ are we cooked chat
It's only been one day since April 15--I really dont think this is a bad place to be. There were 140 by April 30 last year and like 60+ admits off the waitlist. I would still bet on decent movement even if the number doesn't drop too much. Another thing is that they're now only offering need-based aid, which I imagine would mean more people withdrawing than other years when they gave merit aid. That said, who knows, but let's not get too ahead of ourselves lol
 
Hey waitlisters! Just out of curiosity, have any of those who didn't initially notice a status update on the portal/CYMS since have a change? Wondering if it is an indication of rolling review/if they're still actively reviewing the waitlist
