S/O Pitt

[Anonymous]

My daughter submitted her app at Pitt three weeks ago and still has not heard back. She had a 3.75 GPA and 1880 SAT so while she wasn't a superstar she was well-within the typical profile.

She applied to other schools but Pitt was her favorite so we're getting a little nervous she wasn't accepted.

Thoughts? Is it normal for a rolling admissions school to take this long? People on the other thread said two weeks...

does she have my pitt account? if so, go to www.my.pitt.edu and have her check. if she doesn't have it, call 412 624 7488 and request one.

i heard pitt is getting a lot more applicants this year so it's taking a little longer than previous years, like three weeks.

Pitt leaves it up to applicants to ensure they have submitted all their paperwork, so you may want to double-check to make sure everything has gone in. On paper, the stats look pretty solid for Pitt.

Yes, she has a Pitt account. Under "Application status" it simply says - all of your application materials have been received and your application is under review.

19:14 here - I know waiting is hard but I don't think there's much she can do other than just wait. Good luck.

Have you visited and done the "Pitt for a day" (I can't remember the exact name)? DS had similar stats 2 years ago and he was asked to send in 1st semester grades before a decision was made. He was then accepted in early February. He also sent an email to his Pitt admissions rep describing a cool Pitt visit. Who knows what worked. But he loves Pitt. (I think the 2 weeks notice is very optimistic).

My kids had a response from Pitt in about 4 weeks and they applied early in Sept (a few years ago). Give it some more time.
