Hi! If you have not received it yet, I recommend sending them an email. Last year, I sent them an email after 2 weeks of them sending out the batch and they said they would resend it to me - I wasn’t able to find the original email.

Thanks for the response! I just sent them an email.

you couldn't find it in your spam or anywhere else?
Nope.... I was checking like every day for the past 2 weeks ish too... I hope they didn't forget about me haha
 
Wow I can’t believe the secondary was in my spam folder. How late is late for the secondary application?
 
Oh my gosh I just saw the secondary in spam too! Just submitted today, one week late from when I got it. Great impression I just made 😳

Friendly reminder to start practicing the professionalism required for a career in medicine sooner rather than later. Specifically, item #7 in our community values TOS states: "Treat others with kindness and respect." That means don't levy personal insults against other community members.
people need reminders to be kind? lol

So I was looking at last year's thread, and I don't think I saw anyone talking about rejections after the secondary? But I did see MSTP rejections somewhat early.
 
I submitted the secondary 24h ago; my portal currently says "Under Review" but also Application Completion Date: INCOMPLETE. Is anyone else having this issue? All my LoRs and MCAT score have been sent to them, so I'm not sure what other information they need to consider my application complete.
I just submitted earlier today and I'm having the same thing on my portal. Did yours ever update? I'm wondering if I need to submit anything else because I know Pitt likes to move fast.

It updated after a few days and says “Under Review” now!
 
Has anyone here requested a fee waiver (not FAP, just through their portal)? I submitted a request about 2 weeks ago. I then received an email stating that my request was pending and that I needed to submit my application to them first to be considered. I submitted it early yesterday but nothing about the fee waiver since them. Just want to know how long I should expect them to take.

Yes it did. I checked back an hour later and the portal updated to show the application was complete. I also got an email the next morning saying my application was complete

Is there any way you can view your application after it is marked complete? As in, open it and verify everything is correct for peace of mind?
 
What is going on at Pittsburgh lmao. Watch them just not accept anyone.
we will see movement soon

this is so bizarre compared to last year, but I think @syrupedbacon is right about the transition, I have friends at Pitt- something about this school makes me crash out but somehow also ends up being the one I love the most

praying for us all this cycle <3
