I only had a few clinical questions and they were asked by a student. Majority of questions were tell us about a time when you had conflict with a coworker, md, pt/family, etc. What would your director say were your strong points and weaknesses. What would you ask a potential student...be ready to answer what ever you ask =). Have your stories ready and you will do fine. Good luck to you!

Does anyone know if they only hold 2 rounds of interviews (Dec and Feb it seems)?

dab121504 · Jan 20, 2016

December for early interviews and February for all others. I believe it is the 17th-19th of Feb.

Thank you for the info

Hi trigsRN,
Where did you hear the 10-12 number? I was told during our session by the admissions coordinator that the number of candidates notified in December has historically been between 2 and 9.

Does this mean their class size is only around 20 students?

20-22 fall and sprin .

Did anyone who interviewed in December get a follow up letter? I remember during the interview the PD said we would get a letter if we didn't get accepted yet to let us know we have to wait til Feb interviews for the decision. Haven't received any notification yet.

I've enjoyed reading everyone else's tips and updates! I have a quick question to others that have submitted applications to Pitt. What is a competitive GRE score? Mine was just above 300 and Pittsburgh doesn't have a set score or benchmark on their website that I could find. Thanks for your insight in advance!

Have they already arranged February interviews? thanks, I'm trying to get an idea of their typical admissions timeline

I applied in January and have not heard from them

Talked to admissions on Thursday they haven't even started looking at applications because of exams. They will be contacting people this week.

Hello, would those that have already interviewed be willing to share what kinds of questions were asked? Do they ask clinical questions? Pharmacology? The tricky interview questions (ie what's the biggest mistake you have made, your biggest flaw)? Thanks!
