I'm torn between a few schools, but there's a good chance I may be at Pitt next year. Sorry I don't meet the >90% requirement for joining this thread, quideam. 😉quideam said:Hey everyone...

after the interview i day I was definitely excited about the school.
do any of you know much about pitt's on campus housing? i know most of the students live off-campus, but i'm all about convenience.

I would suggest you look into some of the non-university owned buildings that are right near Ruskin. You get more for your money that way. Many of my classmates live in buildings in Oakland owned by Sterling Land and have had no complaints. They have fantastic apartments for just as much as it costs to live in Ruskin, but with a lot more appeal. You pay a lot for what you get living in Ruskin, in my opinion.duka said:I looked at ruskin when I was there for second look, and I think I'm going to end up there next year if I'm at pitt-- I just sent in a lease. It's so close to school, and I like the idea of not having to wait for the bus in the morning. If you want to live there, call about it ASAP, because I think they're starting to get low on apartments for next year.

Well, finally this morning I got the courage to call. When the admissions woman put me on hold I knew from previous posts that I was being transferred to Dr. Curtiss and I had a pretty good idea of what he was going to say.
I'm IN AT PITT and I'm so excited!!! I feel like I'm living a dream!!
I'm also so grateful to everyone for posting their experiences. Just knowing that others are going through what I am has made such a difference to me.

lilgecko said:Thanks DrJ2B! Actually, your last post in the Pitt Rolling Admissions thread inspired me to call...so double thanks!!
dsp said:i'm curious about everyone's interests. I am deciding about pitt , maybe 75% going. i am into global health and HIV... anyone else have hobbies or interests within medicine or public health?
PianoGirl04 said:Hey everyone...
Is Pitt going to send us anything about housing? I'd like to find an apartment ASAP, but I don't really know where to start looking. Did any of you who went to second look weekend find out anything about that?
And DRJ2B...I really want to be in the PalPITTations!!!! I loved a cappella in college but never made it into any of the groups here.
lilgecko said:During the interview day one of the students mentioned that she had participated in Pitt's pre-matriculation program. Are they still doing this? If so, does anyone have any info?
quideam said:Hey DrJ2B,
This is really silly, but I have to do this. My mother occasionally reads this forum and she told me to tell you "cogratulations" from her. She says that your being supportive of other people when you yourself didn't have any acceptances shows great character. So, there you go, form my mom 🙂D), to you 🙂.
pyroseq said:How generous is Pitt's financial aid? I have an EFC of 20000 and Mount Sinai gave me a decent (though not great) package of 7300 in scholarships and 22000 in interest free loans. I haven't heard from Pitt yet, but I get the impression that their financial aid sucks. Thanks for the help!!!
