From Pitt’s website: “Interview notifications will be sent in early-March and interviews will take place throughout the month of March. Only those candidates invited to the on-campus interviews will be notified.”

Early March, ugh! Thank you, appreciate the info

My daughter received an email tonight with a merit award of $2k per year ($8k in total). In state, Dietrich (Biological Sciences). Was hoping for more than the minimal merit award, but I guess we shouldn’t complain. Hoping that some private scholarships pan out!

Congrats! My daughter received the same merit award, in state Dietrich and Pre Health Science as well. She submitted TO so she wasn’t expecting any merit from Pitt so we were pleasantly surprised too, also hoping to secure some private scholarships to apply as well. Did your daughter submit scores?

Thanks for posting. I’ve been wondering if TO was a mistake for d25 since we haven’t received anything yet. Congrats to your daughter!

I don’t know if this helps, and I can’t absolutely prove this, but in my circles the consensus is when Pitt said it was going to shift more aid money to need versus merit, this has ended up particularly true for in-state admits. So any merit in-state is still a nice honor, although I understand whether it is enough practically is a different matter.

A lovely batch of new awards here; congratulations all! We just got notification that we got a slot in the Pres. Day visit. (We were on the “wait list” for that.)
