Also got the email this morning, and accepted on the portal!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHH
I think it’s all admitted. I never expressed any interest in it but I got an emailWho do they decide is eligible for the PREP program? I found out about my admission via the PREP email, but I am confused if you have to be ~selected~ for it or if they offer it to all admitted candidates
+1Waitlisted on portal. Damn I loved pitt and felt my interview went great.

This. Is Pitt known for giving scholarships?Also got the PREP email and accepted on the portal!!!! Anyone know if we will also be getting an official e-mail/info on applying for financial aid, etc? It doesn't seem like there's much on the portal right now.

Very good need based aid if you need it, verrrrrrrry goodThis. Is Pitt known for giving scholarships?
MSAR says 65 acceptances are given from the WL every year. It also says that they have 2 tiers in their WL. My portal doesn't tell me which tier I'm on though.
Are we talking COA good if our FAFSA EFC is 0 and we're super economically disadvantaged?Very good need based aid if you need it, verrrrrrrry good
Waitlisted as well. :/
Waitlisted as well
Does anybody have any info on the waitlist? Is is ranked, unranked?
Also, when do you guys think is the best time to send a letter of intent? I sent them an update letter/letter of interest at the beginning of the month, but I realize it may not have helped as decisions had probably already been made by that point...
It's ranked. From MSAR: "Applicants placed on a 2-tier waitlist depending on Committee ranking. Applicants taken off waitlist as seats in class become available." I'm not sure how they distinguish between candidates within a tier, but the waitlist overall is ranked.In terms of your waitlist question:
From what I understand from the information I gathered from interview day, and I may have misinterpreted, the waitlist is not explicitly ranked. Instead, it seems that as spots open up all waitlisted applications are reviewed for consideration. But I am unsure how much of a strain this would cause on the adcom decision process...and whether maybe there is a point system...

I think that info is outdated because they didn't do the two-tier system last year. Also, if it is still two-tiered, it doesn't appear anyone has been informed of their ranking (i.e. what tier they're on).It's ranked.

Ah gotcha, my apologies, I thought it was up-to-date.I think that info is outdated because they didn't do the two-tier system last year. Also, if it is still two-tiered, it doesn't appear anyone has been informed of their ranking (i.e. what tier they're on).
From previous threads, it looks like WL movement starts in late Feb/early March; would sending a LOI before that (like mid-Feb) be a complete waste of time? I would like to do everything I can before substantial movement starts happening so that I can confidently say that I did everything I could if I ultimately fail to garner an acceptance (God forbid )
Probably not full COA but What 18purple said is probably most accurateAre we talking COA good if our FAFSA EFC is 0 and we're super economically disadvantaged?
Though I am happy to not be rejected at least lol...Congrats everyone. It seems like they legitimately wait listed most and did not reject anyone. That's frustrating, like why do that!?

I haven't gotten anything either. I looked around on the website, and found the academic calendar. Second Look is April 25-26, which are a Thursday and Friday.anybody know when second look is?
Also is there some kind of deposit we have to make or something? I don’t see anything about it on the portal and I haven’t received any emails beyond the PREP email this morning

I'm so confused...was NO ONE rejected post-II? Or this just a big reporting bias? Curious what this means for those of us on the waitlist. I feel like there's so many people on the waitlist which makes our chances worse
I felt a little silly marching around in a suit in the rain, but it was so worth it!
Could you tell me a little bit more about your day-to-day life as a Pitt student? What does a typical week look like for you?
I don't think Pitt rejects anyone post interview
Not sure about this particular cycle, but there were people rejected that posted on the thread last year and the year before.
I also personally know at least one person who was rejected from Pitt a few weeks after their interview a few years ago.
Dang, I didn’t know that.
The Pitt SOM AdCom bylaws from 2017/2018 (available online) also say they reject applicants outright.
Come to think of it, the PSTP program explicitly says they can pull people in off the waitlist, but not if rejected. I'm not sure why they'd say this if the AdCom literally rejected no one...
