Did they confirm your date selection yet? I'm antsy to make reservations/get someone to cover my work shift but I can't do that until they confirm!
Sweet! I'm thinking September 21. I responded like 10 minutes after they sent the email so I'm hoping it's not full yet
?
If it's a family issue, they might work with you. You should probably write something out that you will say to them if you want to ask for a later date. I don't think it'd be too late for the 21st unless you already flat out told them you will not go. People at Pitt are nice and understandingI am out of states because of my grandfather's health so I wanted to schedule mine after my flight (sept 30th). Apparently I have to talk to the admissions director to get an answer. She said that my interview offer might get rescinded because of it.. so I don't think I should risk it. (what do you guys think?)
Do you guys think it's too late to schedule for Sept 21st now
I went for roughly 2x2 inches. Ended up being like 1.98 x 2.01 or something
Confirmed! See you there!
It's like right next to the school and there's even a shuttle that picks you up. Also, they give discounts for people on university business.So expensive though
Nope. I go to Pitt for undergrad haha. The Hilton is more expensive, but it's super nice, right down the hill, and the shuttle will drive you up. Wyndham is also close, but on the other side of campus. Guess it doesn't really matter if there's a shuttle.
I think it's pretty bad, like a normal city rush hour. Leave early. Google maps tells ETA with traffic taken into account. That should help
Honestly, I'm not sure what traffic is like in the morning but I know traffic going 376W in the afternoon is atrocious. So I'm guessing it's similar during rush hours. also Pittsburgh roads are a convoluted mess.
I'm sure it does. Hotels are used to this type of thing. You can probably reserve it in advance. Worst case scenario, you can walk (run) to the dental school, though it's up a pretty big hill
Darraugh St is steeeeep.
Haha that's why I said worst case scenario
At least it probably won't be snowing in September, so that's a plus
When did they state that your app was complete?AHHH INTERVIEW!! july 31 mail out did NOT expect this yet!!!
Got an email that everything was received on July 31
They only offered 2 dates in September. I'm sure there are way more interviews to come. Especially if they don't like us haha
That sounds awesome! Thank you
Haha Pittsburgh cost of living is actually pretty cheap for the size of city it is. But I'll see you on the 21stI tried doing this and it said the promo code or whatever didn't work. The quoted me at like $230 a night. No way jose
Edit: I had to play around with dates to finally get the promo code. Which means my flight will be altered. Sheesh, it's expensive out here haha
Did we apply to like all the same schools or what??? ND POWER!!!
Haha must have the same taste and desire to get the heck out of this God-forsaken place.
Speak for yourself! Fargo is awesome!
If you can afford it, fly. Otherwise, there's megabus/greyhound and amtrak I think. You'd have to bus/taxi/uber down town to get to the station. Bus fair downtown is less than $3 and to the airport is less than $4.
I'm still working out where I'll be staying. I might stay with a family friend, but if that doesn't work out, I'll definitely take up your offer.
Oh darn! I already booked my room for the same two nights at the same hotel haha.Any girl interviewing September 21st wanna share a hotel room? I have a room with two beds at the Hampton Inn ($109/night but $55/night each + fees) for two nights. Sunday night and Monday night. Anyone wanna split it with me? Message me por favor
Count me in to explore! I know where the good stuff (food) is
Of course! We can start a PM when it gets closer and figure stuff out haha. I love Pitt and I'll be happy to show everyone my favorite foods and barsYes!!! We need someone to take us to the good spots
