Received a letter from a school about a “second decision”?

It isn’t a “second decision” – rather the school wants more information before making a decision at all. I agree with the above that it sounds like you are on the cusp, that the school is considering your application carefully, and that updated positive information would help your case. If you were expecting to be rejected then it is good news. This is what you can do:

–Work hard to get the best mid-term grades you can and see that your guidance counselor sends them promptly.

–If you think you can study more and improve your standardized testing then give it another try. If the scores do improve send them to Pitt promptly.

–If you have any significant achievements since your application was submitted then let your admissions officer know in a short (emphasis on short since they are swamped) email.
