I'd guess it would place as well as any non-Ohio Tier 2 school. If you do go to Pitt, I wouldn't go around Pittsburgh saying you want to move to Cleveland

oh i know.

My family is from Pitt and my cousin is marrying a guy from there and, worst of all, he is an indians fan. not pretty.

I was just wondering if Cleveland is a possible option for small firms coming from Pitt.

Deposits due today, lets hope for decisions tomorrow! Good luck everyone.

Anybody still waiting around who UR in January? (sorry gin).

Woah woah... deposits due TODAY!? I coulda sword it was 4/15!!? Hmm... maybe my decision will be made for me if I just missed the deadline...

[bigbubba]

I think some of the acceptance deadlines were staggered because mine was definitely listed as April 15 as well.

[bport hopeful]

I believe it was if you got a scholarship.

mine said it had to be postmarked by the 5th and I got a scholarship

From what I understood:

4/5 deadline: those with scholarship
4/15: those without scholarship

I think some were able to get extensions. I got one because I wasn't informed of a scholarship initially. Also they send a confirmation e-mail once the payment is received.

scholarship was increased from 14,000 to 17,000.

they said tuition is being increased, though.

will most likely withdraw by the end of the day. GL everyone.

+1 14k to 16k however tuitin will increase so it really doesnt make it any cheaper.

Well, if they're increasing scholarships to keep pace with tuition, I would imagine they're anticipating at least an 8% tuition increase for residents.

I just emailed someone on the admissions committee and told them that I visited the campus and really loved it and that I cant wait to hear from them.

It likely wont speed anything up at all, but it cant hurt.

[itsalyssa]

bport hopeful- let me know if you hear back from them, im inclined to do the same. still havent heard back, they are my top school.

[corvettekid]

Accepted as of today, I think making a phone call helped.

congrats! do you mind me asking what your stats are? and when you went under review?

It doesn't hurt. I can't remember if it was the end of March or beginning of April, but either way I still hadn't heard. I e-mailed them and told them they were my first choice and they e-mailed me back the next day with an acceptance. So it definitely can't hurt to e-mail/call and express your interest.

[HOPEFORCHANGE]

Yeah, they're getting contacted by me either tomorrow or Monday. It will probably be Monday because I a working my one job from home tonight and my other paralegal job tomorrow morning. It seems like it does work if so many people have been successful.

[itsalyssa]

i already sent a LOCI about two weeks ago expressing that they were my first choice school, and if accepted i would attend. do you think its still a good idea to contact them a second time or just wait it out? i dont want to sound too pushy but i reallyyyyyyyyy want Pitt

[solarae]

I just spoke to admissions, as I've been doing about once a week for these past few weeks. She said all decisions will be made by the 15th.

Call 'em. Or email. Whatevs.

Also, can we get a count on who is going to Pitt?

I'm 98% attending.

[gin]

I was just accepted. Sent 11/15, UR 12/8 >1/25> 4/5, Accepted 4/8
PM me for stats

[HOPEFORCHANGE]

gin, congrats!

solarae - I was told the same thing when I just called. The nice woman said that they are reviewing files daily and hope to make all decisions by April 15th.

allready sent the seat depost. withdrew from the other finalist this morning. So i will be there

[northwood]

Congrats GIN!

[gin]

Thanks.
From what I've gathered, is a car necesary at Pitt? From what I've gathered it's not, and I really don't want to drive there all the way from TX

[northwood]

i dont think its needed. Some of the apartments charge extra for parking- so it may be a bigger hassle than its worth.
