What is going on with Pitt's interviews? I wonder how many they have already sent out?

Yes, there is a short writing sample. Mine was at the very end of the day, after the interview and everything else. Don't worry about it too much! :)

Unless there's a new system this year, they usually send out a big batch of invites for 3 interview sessions at a time. So more invites probably won't be going out until sometime in October.

Did those that received an invite have a choice for dates or was only one date given?

How many ppl do you think they'll take from the Sept 24 interview?

Seven and a half.

Okay so you guys probably don't even think that's funny, but really... no one will ever know. I interviewed on the first date last year and I don't even know how many were accepted from there, but I know a few are in my class. The waiting stinks, but it passes a lot faster than you'd think!
 
Just received an interview invitation from Pittsburgh! I'm so happy because Pittsburgh is one of my top choices. :)

Now to pick the date, they gave me oct 22nd and Nov 5th. Probably going to pick Nov 5th.

That email takes a bit to arrive. And they ask you to please be patient during the application process, so don't call! lol

Sent from my Desire HD using SDN Mobile
 
Anyone knows if they still have some more invitations to send out or not for the pre-Dec interviews?
Thanks.
 
Hey those of you who were offered the dates Oct22 and Nov5, did you folks receive your confirmation e-mail from Ms. Mangold yet?
 
yes. i think i actually received two if i remember correctly. One was the week of the invite, the other was this week i think.

Its strange how I still have not received a single e-mail from her although got back to her on the same day as I received my invite! :uhno:
 
Pitt takes a lot of OOS and internationals. In fact, they take more OOS students than in-staters. Definitely more hope as an OOS/international.

I remember Pitt didn't interview anyone post December the previous cycle. Are they still doing that?

There are post-Dec interviews this year.
 
Pre-dec interview is completely booked at this point, I am guessing. Until when are they interviewing students in the Spring?

There are 2 dates in November and 2 in January. I'm not sure which ones have been filled yet and I haven't been keeping up with the "interview invites" thread to see which ones invites have been distributed for, sorry!
 
Did anyone else's status change back to Under Review?
