For all of those you interviewing at Pitt, I just wanted to let you know to bring a snack like a granola bar or something to tide you over through the day.

There's not much food planned for the interview days. We're having an early breakfast at like 10-11. And the day usually lasts from until like 4 or sometimes later. The food is a pretty much like breakfast, eggs, sausage, homefries.

Just wanted to warn you guys because I was ravenously hungry at the end of my interview last year.

Hope to see a bunch of you guys around the school in the next coming weeks. If anyone has any questions, let me know! 🙂

So are you a current student at Pitt? Or are you a reapplicant for some reason?

It only takes a couple of moments to check.

What threw me off was her location says Philadelphia, U of Pitt is NOT in Philadelphia, hence the school name.

The traffic is pretty bad in Pittsburgh, especially going towards the airport. Rush hour here starts at like 3/3:30 and backs up really, really bad.

I think the interview days do end at 3. Though they have been known to run over. My roomie was in the same situation last year (interview day and flight out at 6). She left at 3 and made it ot he airport just in time, though shedid almost miss her flight.

The writing test isn't bad. It'll just be a pretty easy questions. Absolutely nothing to stress over!

Don't worry. 🙂

i agree, definitely bring a snack, i was starving by the end last year.

also, dont worry about your flights. last year they did go past the scheduled time, but all of the interviews were held between 12-1 so you wont miss anything if you have to leave at 3. people who had flights were excused to leave while the rest of us toured some sort of lab.
