Hey,

I was wondering if anyone has recieved an official notice via mail? I've noticed that some have gotten emails from their interviewers.

Also those who have heard in some form what date did you interview and who was your interviewer? In addition I am wondering if you recieved an automatic (presecondary) interview or post secondary interview?

Thanks so much

If I remember right, my interviewer e-mailed me a week or two before I got the snail mail from the school. It was a year and a half ago, so take that as you will.

 

[Risa]

Anyone get a Pitt letter today???

I had major ants in my pants all morning, but no dice. Maybe tomorrow....

 

[medicomel]

nada here, either. and i walked all the way to my p.o. box in this f------ freezing rain.

 

[AxlxA]

stop getting my hopes up!!!!!!

I wont be expecting any snail mail until mid november. I didn't send them a thank you note so if i dont get it, i will blame it on that. Blaming inanimate object is the only way i'll survive.

I might as well add this to the most recent Pitt thread.

I'm really interested in Pitt. I mean, I really think I might love the school if I had the chance. But they apparently don't want to interview me. Is there any way I can tell them I'm really seriously interested? I guess anybody who applies to a school is interested, right? But I only applied to 9 schools, and I've heard such good things about Pitt.

What do y'all think? Am I just being an annoying pre-med who should resign myself to the adcom's decision? Or is there really something I can do to make them want to interview me?

Nope - no letter. I figured being in DC (close to Pitt) I might get one of the first letters, but nothing...


And Tigress - I know what you mean about communicating your interest to the adcom. I don't know what to tell you other than the usual - write a letter explaining why you are so interested in the school.

Maybe even find an "excuse" to be in the area and casually mention that you will be there, so if they are considering you for an interview, maybe they could schedule it then? 😛

As far as not having gotten an interview yet, I really wouldn't worry about it - yet. Pitt got off to a REALLY late start on the admissions process this year. I interviewed 9/20, and I was told we were one of the first groups. Also, there were only five of us, whereas they normally have 15. My suspicion is that they will be sending out many more invites soon.

Good luck to you. I've seen lots of your posts, I think you would make a fine classmate (assuming I get in to Pitt too... )

 

[AxlxA]

hang in there tigress, although it should be you that is consoling us instead since you are already set on getting an MD.

When i was in the admissions office, i saw HUGE and i mean HUGE stacks of AMCAS just sitting there. And the few staff members were going at it like crazy. Making sure everything is set. You know what i love about U of pitt besides the obvious? THE ELEVATORS. They're EVERYWHERE!!!! hehehe you can walk horizontally throughout 90% of the school. which makes being on a fat hill not a problem.

Got the letter today.....waitlisted. I'm ok with it though because my stats were not great. I hope there's a lot of movement in the waitlist at the end of the year....

Edit: Anyone know when if it is too premature to send a letter of intent and whether or not they are receptive to it?? Thanks!

 

[AxlxA]

FAWK!!!! i got the letter too.... It took me 2x reading to figure out what they were saying. I always read the last paragraph first to see if it's good/bad news.

Waitlisted. BAAAAAAAAAAAH

qwerty123, hang in there, hold off on the letter of intent until feb/march.

 

[CuddlyKumquat]

The wait is killing me. Pitt is my top choice and I am hoping to god i don't get rejected or waitlisted. I feel so useless just sitting here, waiting, and waiting, and waiting................. 🙁

I know right?? It kept going on and on about things I was just like "Just reject me already!!!" Then at the very end....it says you're waitlisted...

Good luck to you too AxlxA! I really hope that I can get off the waitlist though....

qwerty, if you don't mind me asking... was it a thick/big envelope, or pretty normal?

It was a thin, regular sized envelope. Good luck!

Congrats, LadyBulldog. I'm so excited for you!

And to the waitlistees, don't give up hope! I'm sorry you have more waiting to do 🙁

Here's to hoping that you get off the waitlist or get in at one of the other two schools.

Me getting impatient.

I interviewed Oct 3rd and no mail today or yesterday. (Maybe they didn't get to my file? or Mail just slow although I live pretty close to Pitt? Or they rejected me 🙁 )

I'm pretty impatient too... I've been so anxious before mail time the last two days. Really feel like it's coming this week.... maybe tomorrow, guys, maybe tomorrow.

I dunno I'm kinda hoping it isn't coming soon because all those who seem to have gotten in got an email first.

Oh yikes good point. I didn't even think of that

Don't worry, guys, not everyone gets an e-mail before they get a letter. It all depends on what your interviewer decides to do; not all send e-mails to their interviewees. I think one girl actually got in this year with a letter alone, so don't worry about the e-mail thing.

I'd just like to note I give comforting advice and I really do mean it...yet I'm a huge hypocrite at the same time because I freak out with the best of 'em. It's pretty impressive, really 🙂

 

[ti89]

Well maybe they are going over auto interview invites first and they get around to me in a couple of weeks. Plus I added an additional letter rec letter on 10/19 so my file was 'complete' a little later then other. I hate this wait and yet its a good thing I'm still waiting.

See I thought of that. But one person who found out by email had interviewed with the same person I did. Why did I bother to find out.

Ignorance is bliss

 

[Risa]

Oh, do you know which interviewers have sent out emails??? Ignorance is bliss, yeah... but who needs bliss 😉

 

[CuddlyKumquat]

PUHLeEEEEEEEASE leemmmmee in!!!! 😀

Um I can't remember the list i've seen online but if you type a name I could tell you if it looks familiar.

 

[Risa]

Dr. Drayer or Franki Williams?

Where did you see the list?

Um I pmed people. But i deleted them because I have this thing of keeping it empty.

Nope none of those look familiar. But they did say it could take till middle of November. I figure they have just started meeting to make decisions and last week or week before was the first time. No way they can get through all of sept and up to that point if Oct in one day?

If you haven't gotten an email, that doesn't mean anything - I got my acceptance two days ago in the mail, and I never got an email from my interviewer. (Of course, prior to getting my letter, I was freaking out too. 😳 ) You can always call their admissions office too to find out if you're letter's been sent. I did that. Anyway, hang in there, and good luck! 🙂

Nothing yet but when I called they said it could be around 3 weeks for me.

I IV'd a full two weeks before you and I STILL haven't heard anything.

Does anyone know what order they're doing this in? It clearly isn't in order of the interviews....

I know the feeling, you don't have to explain it to me! Pitt is my top choice too, and I was giddy for two days after I got my letter. My dad called me to tell me it came in the mail, and I almost drove off the road, I was so excited! 😛

 

[FenderB2004]

Hey guys, got the great news yesterday too. What an incredible feeling, it's been one hell of a roller coaster ride! It's been over a day and I still can't stop smiling 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂

Interviewed oct 3, got the email 10/30.

 

[ti89]

Anyone get any thing in the mail this week from Pitt? Acceptances? Waitlists?

 

[kamui29]

Got an acceptance email today for a 10/3 interview. Nothing in the mail however.

 

[waterlily]

So did everyone who received acceptances eventually get an email from both of their interviewers? I'm just curious if they are required to do this or if they're doing it on their own. B/c no other interviewers from other schools had ever emailed me congratulating me. So if Pitt interviewers aren't required to do this, then they are one of the most friendliest med group!

Yeah, I got an email from my student and faculty interviewers the week after my letter came in the mail. I don't know if they're required to send them, though.

What is the approximate turnaround time for most decisions? I know they say 3-4 weeks, but I was hoping to get an idea from those who have heard versus Pitt's claim. Anyone interview on or around 10/17 and hear yet?

 

[ti89]

Well I was Oct 3rd and still nothing. But my file also was not fully complete until 10/19. I think they say in order they complete and I added an extra rec so I may be a lil late. You probably hear anytime within 3 weeks I figure.

Who did you interview?

 

[tigress]

how about Pitt giving me an interview?

 

[wowzer]

After your interview, each interviewr types up a brief report about you and send it to the Committee. The Committee meets on Wednesdays, and makes final decisions Thursdays/Fridays. During the Committee meeting, each member ranks you on a scale of 7-10 (usually nothing below). The average is then calculated and you are given a specific decision based on your number relative to the average.

Hey I interviewed on the same day! Which one were you?? 😀

 

[gbbdoc]

I was the guy wearing a suit. jk
From Cleveland, attended the University or Wisconsin. Don't know if that helps much though. Which were you? What did you think of Pitt?
