Hey everyone, I'm interviewing at SH on 3/6 but I fly into Pittsburgh on 3/5 at noon and will have a rental car with me too. Do you think I should drive up to Erie and check out the campus so I could have a better idea when ranking between SH and Eire PBL?
That's a tough one... You'll be able to make it up to Erie in a little over 2 hours from Pittsburgh Airport. Which means you'll have about that same drive time to backtrack to Pittsburgh. Assuming you'll only be at Erie for an hour or so, that'll put you back around Pittsburgh during rush hour. You can expect to fight through Pittsburgh rush hour traffic and get to Greensburg in about another hour. That's kind of a haul if you're trying to compare campuses, though. Then again, you will be potentially spending the next few years of your life in either place so... I dunno what I'd do. It might also be a good idea to check out the surrounding areas of Greensburg so you get a feel for the rural setting. It might be worth bringing up those types of concerns during your interview and maybe someone can give you a little insight on the towns. Then you can compare what type of setting suits you best. Hope this helps and good luck!!!

Thank you for your advice! I was on the fence and maybe bringing up this question might be better for interview day!

I don't think campus amenities (or lack thereof) are really going to make or break your experience, so I wouldn't go through all that hassle just for that.
If you have a spouse/kids that are also relocating with you, it might be worth it to let them get a feel of both towns (or you can see them both on their behalf) because it'll probably matter more to them than it would to you. I wouldn't try to squeeze it into the afternoon after the interview, though-- getting to Erie from Greensburg is quite a drive, and you'd have to make it back to the Pittsburgh airport in time to return your car and get to your flight, so I don't think you'd see much in what little time you'd get in Erie, anyway. Pittsburgh rush hour is no joke, so add extra time to the drive for that.

I just cancelled an interview on 3/6 via email. Anyone who wants the slot, keep your eyes peeled for the next few days to see if they open it up for grabs.

Hi guys!
I interviewed on 1/12 and I just went to check my admissions status on the portal. Where it used to say "Congrats, you have been chosen for an admission's interview" for Seton Hill, there is no longer anything showing up. Its blank now. Is this a good or bad thing?
Thanks!

No.
Neither, just means you went to your interview. Portal messages really don't mean anything.

I sent mine on a Thursday and they sent it by email on the following Tuesday (Monday was a holiday). I also received the return receipt with the receiver's signature.

Thank you so much! I've just emailed them to ask. I want to ensure I'm not missing any deadlines with immunizations and such.
Is anybody here an "alternate" for Seton Hill? I'm just wondering what the chances are of being pulled off the alternate list and being accepted. And if anybody has ever been in this situation before and has advice, please share! Thank you!

I am on the alternate list. Not sure about our chances. I sent a LOI in January but not sure if sending another one is appropriate or not. Don't want to be pushy

I'm an alternate since my August interview!
Spoke w/ Betsy today. There is no timeline for decision. Just keep watching the portal for a change.
Thanks for your response.. where did you send your LOI? To Amy?
Oh wow, I'm sorry you've been waiting so long to hear!! That's crazy!

I sent it like 2 days after I got my letter about waitlist and to The admissions email. I had someone verify they go it too.

Have they told you when they would start accepting people from the waitlist? Have you secured any other acceptances since August?
Who did you address your letter to? i'm confused on who the dean of admission is at Seton-Hill.

No they haven't but from last years thread it was may 31st when people said they started getting pulled. And yes I have.
Nope! I interviewed March 6....I'm hoping they'll let us know in April but I think that might be wishful thinking lol

Does anyone know how long they usually take after the interview to send out the letters?
This really depends. I interviewed in January and waited about 8 weeks for a letter. But other people wait months, or less. There doesn't seem to be consistency haha
I also interviewed on 2/17. I just noticed that admissions portal status changed to " The Admissions Committee has made a decision on your application. You will receive an official letter in the mail within 30 days."

I thought it went well, group atmosphere was very relaxed compared the other interviews I've done. Hard to know what they are looking for though.
when did your portal change?
Either 3/21 or 3/22

Accepted yesterday, will probably be attending.
Hey everyone, I have an interview here on 5/8 which is pretty late in the game. There are no earlier dates than that, so I was wondering if I should interview at Erie for an earlier date (either 4/21 or 4/28 are currently available). I just wanted to view the PBL sesh before making my decision, so I'm not sure if it's worth seeing it or if I should reschedule for earlier. And I'm not sure why they're putting so many people on the alternate list... I spoke with Betsy today and she told me that the SH class is not full yet, so the interview would be for an open seat in the class.
Same here. interviewed 3/1.. why is the decision making process taking forever?!?!?!
I think it's generally true that the earlier you can interview, the better chance you might have in terms of nabbing a seat. That being said, I'd probably try to interview at Erie. Remember, an interview at Erie counts for both Erie & Seton Hill (and vice-versa). When the interview is wrapping up, you're able to rank your preferences for pathways/campuses (Seton Hill-PBL, Erie-PBL, Erie-LDP, etc.) Hope it helps and good luck!!
