Thanks! I appreciate the support.
I'm not sure yet where I'm going... but Pitt definitely seemed like it would be a great place to be. The students there seemed more laid back and friendly and normal than at any other school I visited.
What are the dates of second look? I'd like to go back and see the school again and meet all of you!
Second Look Weekend Info:
Arrive by 6:00pm on Friday, April 8. Leave after 2:00pm on Sunday, April 10. I received a packet with information, a schedule and a form about staying with a student that I faxed in. However, I was accepted to the MD/PhD program at Pitt in December so I might just be receiving everything earlier. I'm sure you could get in touch with the Admissions Office for further info.
