Their applicant IT system stays a mess…lol and it is worse than when S. applied and was accepted in 2010.

D. was accepted on September 24, 2013; we received the snail mail on the 27th and a day later, her “submitted” items page said at the top “Congratulations!!” etc etc. Two days later it went back to “submitted” items. And it’s been inaccurate since.

Please also note that the recommendations received list may be inaccurate. D. found that out the hard way–resending and bugging teachers only to discover that all three were already up in the Admissions Office.

The BEST way to check your status if you are concerned is to either email your assigned admissions counselor (check your first applicant email from Pitt–the counselors are listed and assigned to you alphabetically) or CALL the admissions office directly. We have had partial success emailing the assigned counselor. S’s counselor usually responds but in no less than 5-7 business days thusfar. So, call if it you cannot access the system or if you need to check on something important-i.e.,–your recommendations, etc. They can pull up your file.
