<p>Do you send letter of recommendation and essay at same time you are applying. Like I plan on applying June 20th, so do I send my LOR and essay on June 20th to Pitt too or do I apply online then Pitt later asks me for my LOR and Essay then I turn it in??? Also how do you submit LOR and Essay to Pitt??? Do you tell your teacher I plan on applying to Pitt June 20th so could you send it then? How does it work? When I send essay can I send it to Pitt as attached file from word or do I have to copy and paste from outside doc like word to my email to send to Pitt?</p>
<p>When you apply online there should be a button to upload your essay as a word document to your application.</p>
<p>As for the Letter of Rec, there may be a form you need to print out and give to your teacher that has instructions on what they need to address in their letter. You should also give them a pre-stamped, pre-addressed envelope to the OAFA at Pitt which they can stick their letter into to mail. I would give this to them as soon as the application opens and ask that they send the letters ASAP. This is possible if you ask them ahead of time to write the letters and say that you can give them mailing documents/etc. on the 20th when it is released. That way, their letter is already written and all they will need to do is fill out the form & mail everything in.</p>
<p>AwesomeOpossum - Where is the form, I can not find it on website for LOR???</p>
<p>Sorry to answer for AO - but it’s listed on the right hand side of this page:</p>
<p>[University</a> of Pittsburgh: Undergraduate Admissions & Financial Aid](<a href=“http://www.oafa.pitt.edu/freshadm.aspx]University”>http://www.oafa.pitt.edu/freshadm.aspx)</p>
<p>Under “related sites” It’s the same area the printed application was.</p>
<p>AwesomeOpposum - ALso on Pitt website is their place to upload resume/activities list as word document?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Someone else mentioned that you can apparently do it in the essay section. However, you can always just email that to OAFA as a word or PDF document after you have your application number.</p>
<p>My daughter combined the essay and resume into a single pdf and uploaded it in the essay section</p>
<p>AwesomeOpossum - Can I also email my essay to OAFA if I wanted as word or PDF Document? How do I get application # and where?</p>
<p><a href=“mailto:oafa@pitt.edu”>oafa@pitt.edu</a> is this the email I am suppose to email the essay and resume to???</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Certainly. You get your application # <em>after</em> submitting your online application. I am not sure if you get it instantaneously or if you have to wait like 24 hours or so. It should either be given after you hit “submit” online or emailed to you.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Correct!</p>
