Anyone applied to University of Pittsburgh for 2013

Hi all,
Anyone here applied to University of Pittsburgh for 2013. If so, have you hear anything about interviews?

Two coworkers and I have applied to Pitt for 2013, and so far only I received a phone call form them about an interview at the end of the month. They called me on Thursday, November 8th in the morning.

Good luck to you! I know a few on my unit who applied to Pitt. I got accepted to nearby Excela so I decided not to apply.

Hi Ryan,

Thank you for your message. I have not hear anything yet.... I know they do two interviews cycles one in Nov and the other one in Jan. Do you or your coworkers know if they already contacted everyone that is interviewing in Nov? Thanks

Hey,

No, I talked to one coworker on Friday who still didn't hear anything from Pitt. I'll find out later this week if either of them have heard anything. I know that for most people this is a pretty stressful experience, but it really does not bother me. Here's everything that I know, so maybe it will help you out:

Both coworkers had better GPAs than me, but they have less experience (2 years vs. 6 months) and lower GRE scores.

They turned in their applications in September. I completed mine in August.

I did not expect to get an interview here. Unfortunately, I did not receive an interview from Excela. Agil - congrats! Lucky you. I live about 8 miles from the school.. it's kind of a bummer, but that's how it worked out this time. Can you give us some info on what the interview process was like? Anything would be appreciated.

I also applied to York College and La Roche College. York will be notifying every applicant of their interview decision by this upcoming Friday. No idea on what La Roche is doing.

Any other questions?

Ryan
