University of Pittsburgh Class of 2029 Official RD Thread

Yes, we are OOS. He applied to the Business School, which I think has higher fees/tuition.

That makes sense, thank you! My daughter had similar COA numbers for OOS public admits at Delaware, Maryland and Charleston making them much more expensive for her than Pitt. I hope your son has some comparable in-state options that make the COA more reasonable.

The indirect estimates have been underestimated for sure for a city setting for Pitt as compared to other COA that we received from other schools. We got confirmation from our AO this week that all merit aid has now been disbursed! We will visit Pitt and then decide.

Hi everyone. Our family toured Pitt February 28 for the admitted student day. My daughter really liked the campus and school. I think this is her first-choice school at the moment. This is all great news, except for the fact that I am now terrified about it because we are from the west coast and it’s so far away! :grimacing:

We have an older daughter who is now in college in the Midwest— she is enjoying her college experience and the travel to and from has been no problem. So I’m not sure why I’m so worried about Pitt.

Anyway, I just thought I would say hello and good luck to everyone else and their children as they navigate through admissions. Maybe l’ll see you at Pitt in August for move-in day! I’ll be the one crying in my rental car after drop off!!:sweat_smile:

Very easy to get to airport from campus - there’s a (free) bus right on 5th Ave that goes to the airport.
Have never known any student at Pitt not to be happy. It’s a great, vibrant, and stimulating place to spend 4 years. She’ll be great. (But yes so hard for the parents!!)

Thank you for the encouraging words!

Does anyone know when the other admitted student days are? I can’t find this information on the website and I don’t have my sons portal login information. Wish they would just send this information to the parents. Thanks

I think it is school dependent, but I could be wrong. I know there is one on the 29th for Dietrich.

Here is the list of dates for admitted students days for Dietrich. This is a screenshot from my daughter’s portal.

March 29 and Apr 12 are also Honors College Admitted Students Reception. If applicable to your case, you could do both events on those days pending availability of slots. Good luck.

Thank you so much!

Anyone attended Swanson Engineering admitted students day.. The schedule doesn’t really say anything other than visit to Major.. What exactly can we expect to see or hear in our visit to the school. We are going this week.. thanks

Hi everyone. My daughter received a postcard in the mail today regarding financial aid, which said to ā€œcheck your Pitt email for your offer letterā€. We don’t expect to receive aid, but we still wanted to take a look.

My daughter attempted to access her Pitt email through myPitt, but is receiving an error message. We tried clicking on the help information, and it sounds like maybe students don’t get access to email until they commit? But then I’m wondering why the postcard said to check your Pitt email if students are unable to do so. Is there anyone here whose child hasn’t committed yet, but it able to access their Pitt email already? If so, do you remember when/how you gained access? We plan to call in the morning, but I thought I’d ask here just in case anyone had a tip. Thanks all!

Hi- we received the same postcard from Pitt regarding aid. We are OOS and REALLY hoping for some aid since full OOS tuition is a bit daunting… good question about the ā€œPitt emailā€ā€¦my son says no Pitt email until you commit, which we have not done yet. Any update on this?

My daughter called and they told her that the email gets activated only after committing. The financial aid offer was sent to the personal email address that my daughter used on her application. That email was sent a couple of weeks ago, but was missed in the avalanche of college emails. Have your student search through their emails and hopefully it’s there for you. Good luck!

Is the roommate match tool opened yet?

I have a Pitt commit with a twin heading up to school in New England. Does anyone know the move-in date for Dietrich, she got in the honors but might still opt for the regular freshman dorms. Just trying to get ahead of the logistics for moving in 2 freshman. Any insights would be much appreciated. Even a ballpark range on move-in dates would be helpful. Thx
