Has anyone applied or heard back yet? Just applied yesterday. Hoping Pitt is generous, I love the city!

[osubucknut]

Went under review last week.

Went under review last week.

Same here.

Good luck, everyone! I went to Pitt for undergrad, and it's a great school (and Pittsburgh is awesome)! If I didn't have a full-time job four hours away, Pitt would've been my first choice.

[osubucknut]

Thank you, I love the city. Are you from the area, mx?

I'm waiting for a decision - applied to a joint degree program, been in review since mid-December

[mx23250]

Has anyone received scholarship info?

I did. It was included in my acceptance letter I received a week or two ago.

[Elegavie]

I applied 12/17 and so far I'm stuck at complete.

[AOliver90]

I applied 1/12 under priority decision
Received an e-mail inviting me for an interview 1/15
Had interview 1/21
Email of decision sent 1/22

Status=Accepted

And it still feels surreal

For anyone who is invited for an interview, treat it like any other job interview; be professional, confident, and relax! Assistant Dean McCall and Dean Deasy are really nice. They may be conducting all interviews, though I'm not positive. You don't have to do a whole lot of talking. They ask the usual, tell me about yourself, what strengths do you see yourself bringing to the law school, are you able/have you planned how to finance a legal education, what area of law are you interested in etc. They gave a chance for me to ask questions and that was it. The whole interview lasted about 35-45 mins. They made me feel as relaxed as possible it barely felt that long!

Has anyone received any persuasive scholarship offers from Pitt yet? Still waiting

[JMC562]

In via status checker on 2/26. Should be receiving scholarship info within a few days. Hope its good. Pitt is my first choice but have already received competitive offers from Temple, Penn State, Case Western and Duquesne.

[JJ123]

I applied as a safety, and their scholarship offer was steaming dogshit.

+1

Yea...they wouldn't have been my suggestion as a safety choice. You probably should have done some research because they are historically stingy on scholarship offers. They are very friendly to negotiate with though. I was able to double my scholarship package with them.

[osubucknut]

Withdrawing soon with a full tuition scholarship. Good luck, everybody. The money is there, negotiate it.

Should have done my research. I'm probably out my $25 now

[PattyCake]

Just withdrew with $14K, good luck to those waiting!

Finally went UR today (late applicant). 8-12 weeks?! Say it aint so! They can't possibly expect me to wait until June or July, right?

[JMC562]

I would expect it to take a week or maybe 2 at the latest. I applied in February and was told 8-12 weeks as well. It took a total of 8 days. I would think applications would be much slower to process then than now. Be sure to check your application status online though. Pitt uses snail mail and you may be waiting a week longer than necessary if you do not use the status checker.

Awesome, thanks! And trust, I'm still waiting to hear from my top choice, so I'm status checking like its my damn job
