Does showing interest help?

n December, I visited the campus and went on a tour, and had a personal appointment. Will admissions see this, or will it not be included? If they do look at it, how much weight is placed on interest?

<p>They will see that you interviewed/had a personal appointment. It has NO weight on admissions chances. (Source: <a href=“http://www.ir.pitt.edu/cds/documents/CDS2010-11PittsburghCampus.pdf[/url]”>http://www.ir.pitt.edu/cds/documents/CDS2010-11PittsburghCampus.pdf&lt;/a&gt;)</p>

<p>Your overall level of interest (whatever that means) is “considered”. (I.E. lowest level of part of application). That might be things like sending in supplemental material to at least knowing that Pitt is in Pennsylvania (slightly joking here).</p>

Is there anything else I can do now that I’ve sent in my application to improve my chances of getting in?

<p>Send in supplemental material if you haven’t yet (Teacher recs, essay, resume). The more material Pitt has on you, the more they know about you when making a decision!</p>
