Pitt decisions

[Anonymous]

How many days after receiving the login information did your child receive a decision? how did they receive the decision?

Does Pitt care about being a national merit semifinalist? Would it help with merit aid?

Check college confidential for better info on timing, but our experience this year was approx. two weeks between moving to review and to decision. Timing does depend on the school as they might on different schedules, and we applied early so that made it quicker also. May take a day or two from when it says completed (and accept/decline buttons show up) until the letter shows up in the document center

Meet, not might

If this for ED? How long do they have to decide? Aren't seniors still submitting right now for decisions that come after the new year?

I've been hearing of acceptances from my kid's friends who applied as soon as the applications opened. Good luck!

DC Applied in early August. After 2 weeks or so (mid aug) received notification that application is in review. Received acceptance early September.

My DC applied the first week in Aug. It went to review the middle of August and still nothing. It probably doesn’t help it’s for Computer Science and his scores are dead center for admitted students last year in CS. I’m guessing they are admitting the higher stats kids first even though they’re unlikely to go there. My DC really wants to go there b/c CS is not part of the engineering school at Pitt. It’s its own school.

Where do you find scores for admitted students by major for Pitt?

Does your DC have to make a decision now or can they wait until spring when the other responses come in?

Does Pitt provide scholarship/merit aid info when announcing admittance?

I wouldn't speculate. There could be a million reasons.

but my DD has not received an admission decision. Does this mean anything?

Pitt is rolling decision, not early decision (must commit if accepted). Students don’t have to decide until May 1, technically. However as soon as they have an acceptance that they will choose over Pitt, they should decline so Pitt has a better understanding of yield as they continue processing applications all year.
