Haven't heard back - good or bad?

I submitted my UPitt application on the 21st of September. However, UPitt received my official transcript on the 9th of October. It’s the 29th of October and I still haven’t heard from them… Not sure if I should be worried. Maybe I’m a borderline applicant? I’ve heard of people calling their admissions officer - I want to do the same but I’m not so sure what I’d even say besides “So… When will I know whether I make it in or not?” (and that is a pretty annoying question). Any advice? Comments? Is anyone in the same boat as me or has anyone received their letter already - if so, how long did it take for them to respond?
Also, maybe this is a “dumb” question, but are the acceptance/rejection letters sent through mail or email?

And F.Y.I. my stats are as follows:
32 ACT, 3.8 weighted GPA, took a few APs - but nothing too rigorous. Applying as a bio major.
