Argh, I interviewed on the 9th of November and I called them today and they told me I was still under review. I thought it typically took around 5 weeks to get a decisions? Why the long wait? :scared:

I suspect that Thanksgiving pushed everything back. I interviewed on the 13th, and I remember being told that if we were lucky we'd hear by Christmas, but it may have to be after that.
 
I interviewed on Nov 7 and I got my letter on Dec 7. But I think I heard back a little early. You should hear something soon.

Malicious. I thought we talked about this. No Pitt for you while I am waiting. Phshshsh, some people don't listen. :meanie:
 
I know axlaxl1, no Pitt for me until you get in. But I just can't help my self because I'm in love 😍.
 
I've been waiting since an October 10 interview.. Everytime I call I'm always "under review".

Your NUMBERS ARE INSANE.

Can you please answer this question and not be offended because I want you to get in JUST SO I KNOW they'll be ok with my numbers.

What is wrong with your personality? There is no excuse why you weren't accepted to EVERYWHERE. I won't accept anything else and I am being genuine when I say I want to be of a help and not bashing by any means.
 
Thats unfair for you to say...he's prolly getting waitlisted at schools that think he wont attend

Wow I am an idiot. I didn't really read into his profile like I should've before making some sort of comment like that. His profile is a little convoluted though. I thought he wasn't hearing back from a lot of schools but I see now he just started interviewing. I see now. Still, I wonder if people do become too cocky and don't get into places because of it. Or just plain awkwardness.

I interviewed 11/12, and they said we should be hearing back "around the holidays" so hopefully we'll get something next week or so? I haven't called them yet, since I'm giving them the benefit of 8 weeks before I start worrying about it. It hasn't even been 6 weeks yet for me, so I think it's a little to early to worry right?

I find it hard to believe Pitt will feel that people won't attend because of their stats. Pitts is not a Georgetown or BU that people apply enmasse; it's a sweet deal that I'd be more than happy to go to! ARGH, can you sense my desperation 🙂. 😀
 
Haha, I adore Pitt SO much. It's like my #2 choice of school out of the ones I've interviewed at so far 🙂 So I'll think myself uber lucky to get an acceptance from them! Hope we hear good news soon!

Your stats and Ec's look solid, so I wouldn't sweat it too much 🙂

I interviewed the week of Nov 12 and just came home to find the UPS envelope on my doorstep today, Dec 19... Hope that helps. I was really impressed by Pitt; I definitely got the impression that they're "up and coming" and I really liked the student body. Good luck to you all!

AH! OH NO! Now i'm super nervous to go home and check the mail....
Did you receive it in Cali?
 
I called, I'm still under review too. Guess it isn't entirely chronological? Who knows.

Yeah, I'm wondering if they review you once, and if they can't decide, they re-review it again later? I have no idea how the committee works, so I guess I"ll just wait, lol.
 
Did it come from UPS., I thought it was USPS? I wonder why I'm still under review. TEXT CALL THEM AND SEE WHAT THEY SAYYYY!

I live in Cali and it came UPS (brown and yellow). Good luck to you guys!
 
It is very frustrating that most of you do not understand the rules. 😡

No one, is allowed an acceptance to Pitt until I get my acceptance. :meanie:

Now, with that being said... I have formulated an idea! We can call financial aid and implore about our scholarships and what have you. Based on their reply we should be able to determine our status! 😉 Now, the risk of this is minor. ***They are as follows,

1.) The financial aid people could say, " yes we need you to fill out such ans such paper work." GREAT you're IN!

2.) The financial aid people could say, " WTH are you talking about." < This choice is dangerous because it could lead you to lose you're mind even further, i.e. wondering aimlessly if "did they accept, did they deny." "Should I call again," Do they know I am calling again? What do they think about me calling again? If I call more will that help? If I call less and pray more and or call more but don't pray what could be the implications of that? ;adjf;ladjf;aljdf;lasjfd;k:laugh:

Sorry I am bored
 
Haha. Let me know if that plan works...

Yeah, I can relate to your anxiety, I'm desperately hoping to see an acceptance from Pitt in my mailbox soon.
 
WAHOO! Accepted 🙂 Happiest. Moment. Ever.

Congrats both of you!!! Pitt is amazing.
 
Thanks! I'm looking at the data form, and wondering what you do if you haven't yet decided whether to live on campus or not? Check more than one box?
 
I think I didnt check anything or more than one. I actually dont remember. I was in such a hurry to send it out lol before they changed their minds lol.

I interviewed on 11/9 and received my acceptance via UPS today to my HOME address.
 
Any of you remember the grading policy at Pitt? Honors/high/pass?
 
Did you see that game by PITT. GOOOOOO PITT! That game was awesome. I can't believe all that happened in 16 seconds 👍

it was great!!! As a former tar heel and a future panther...I loved every second of it!!!
 
So I never got a UPS package/letter of acceptance from UPitt... but today I got an email titled "Holiday Greetings from UPitt", and I had to read it a bunch of times to sort of draw the conclusion that I was accepted? It was very vague. Did anyone else get this email but not an acceptance letter? Maybe it was a mistake? I interviewed on 11/13.

I got that e-mail and I was accepted about a month ago. So it sounds like you were accepted! It doesn't sound like an e-mail that they'd just send to all applicants.

I got this email today too, and was accepted a few days ago. Perhaps your acceptance letter didn't get to you yet? (I live 40 min. from the school and it only came 2 days ago) Also, it is sent to your permanent address (probs your home).

Congrats on the probable acceptance!

i got the email today, and i was accepted a while ago. i think it is safe to assume you were also accepted. "Congratulations on being invited to join this elite group."

i dont think they would send you something that says this if you werent accepted.

congrats!
 
Thanks guys! Hopefully when I get to my parents' home later today there will be a letter waiting! And congrats to all of you too!

SnoPearl STATS = REDICULOUS

Ok ok ok ok, So, let me figure out this e-mail thing because NO I didn't get one 😡. Now, I interviewed after Miss Pearl so I am wondering did anyone that has an interview date AFTER 11/13 get an e-mail of such nature? Please Pitt, don't ruin Christmas 😳. LOL, tonight I pray harder :scared:.


This has been another bored and waiting for Pitt to get back to me production.
 
I interviewed Nov 7 and got my letter Dec 21 - waitlisted... I noticed Malicious interviewed the same day and got her acceptance Dec 7.

Anyone have any info on the waitlist? I am so sad about it!

If you really liked the school send them a LOI ASAP. Good luck

What is a LOI? LOL, is that like for the Love Of god I WANT IN!

Well in any event, I hope everyone gets what they want and deserve for this holiday season. God Bless, Happy Holiday's and Happy New Years!
 
Letter or Intent/Interest. You send a letter of intent if the school is your top choice and you will definitely attend if accepted. You send a letter of interest to let the school know that you are very interested. They are usually sent when you are placed on a waitlist
 
Yay I did get an acceptance letter! It was sent to my dorm address this afternoon, and I had to rush there to pick it up before I left for my parents' house for the winter break. Thank god I did too, cause otherwise I might not have made their 2 week deadline for holding the spot. I'm so excited!!! I loved Pitt! 🙂

Wow, the e-mail thing. Darn. How deep does it go as a date is concerned? I mean can we all give up now if we didn't get the e-mail?

I wouldn't give up at all, my letter was dated 12/20, so clearly my acceptance was determined days after the others who had been receiving their letters on the 19th. Since you interviewed the day after me, it's entirely possible that your decision is made later, therefore you not receiving the email yesterday. Don't give up!! And good luck!

Oh it wasn't a day it was much later than that. But, I mean they took your information and uploaded it into a computer. You see what I mean. Do you see how obsessive I am being? LOL, Congrats and happy holiday's. Your numbers are amazing.

Is Pitt a top choice for you?
