Just wanted to share how much I appreciate Pitt admissions for being so quick to send out decisions. Going through the remainder of my college applications is so much easier now that I know I’ve already been accepted to a university I would be more than thrilled to attend!! Now I’m just waiting to hear back about Honors, which would very likely seal the deal.
@mommdc, he didn’t. I don’t think he has a chance for them at all. I will be happy with some money or not. My employer is related to Pitt, and will pay $6k of tuition annually anyway. If he gets any scholarship, they will only pay $3k. So it is such a balance and trade off.
Merit aid appeared in my portal today for 20k a year. I was accepted 11/7 to Dietrich. I’m OOS.
1570 superscore
4.4 W GPA
2 APs last year 4 this year but my school doesn’t offer any before junior year.
Answered all essays
Waiting for honors college now. Hopefully it comes out soon!
@student1234451 Congrats! Interesting you are saying it appeared in your portal. Historically it’s a snail mail notification.
Congratulations!
You are the first to report that aid showed online. The rest here received snail mail with no changes to portal.
Are you checking the mobile (psmobile) or regular portal?
Is it showing under financial aid or elsewhere?
This from the Pitt website:
“November 1st – Pitt Honors Priority Consideration Deadline (Candidates will be informed of their Pitt Honors admission decision on or before January 12) January 15th – Pitt Honors Regular Consideration Deadline (Candidates will be informed of their Pitt Honors admission decision on or before March 1)”
Agreed - can you please confirm exactly where it appeared? Also, I see you’re brand new to CC - welcome!
Anyone here received invitation for GAP med supplement application? My dc got accepted to upitt last week and haven’t heard anything related to GAP yet.
Is there an additional comments portion of the app to briefly explain poor grades, scores, etc? Can’t seem to find one other than the last question in the short essays.
I can confirm that my daughters merit scholarship now shows up in the same portal where the accept/decline buttons are, under the financials tab. This is a recent development.
Invitation for GAP arrived about two weeks after acceptance
I just checked the portal because of today’s posts and my daughter’s merit award has shown up as well under the financial aid tab. They list it split into 1st and 2nd semester.
Snail mail letter today, selected for Pitt Business Honors Program, very happy. Now hope that the financials come through as hoped!
What portal is everyone talking about on this thread? I’ve been checking Pitt Passport ever since I applied 10/31 and it just says my app is complete and submitted. Is there another place I should be looking?
Sorry if this questions already been answered or if I’m late to the discussion. I appreciate the help.
@violinist018 See post #9
FYI all aid will most likely be divided up between two semesters. Scholarships, grants, work study, loans.
D kept checking the portal (including the link provided on this forum) and there was nothing. Application said complete. She received the acceptance letter in the snail mail yesterday. Never got an email and her portal shows nothing.
@hnks09, was she checking regular or mobile portal? See post #9 in this thread for details on the correct way to check.
And congratulations to your daughter!
