University of Pittsburgh CRNA 2024

Did anyone else apply by the Feb 15 priority deadline for Pitt? Looking at previous years it seems like they usually send out interview invites this week so here's hoping! :)

From my notes... at the end of my interview session, Dr. O'donnell said:

  • 80 total interviews given
  • 50 seats to be offered
    • 40 full time slots
    • 10 to start part-time remotely
  • And to expect to hear back week of June 23rd

They also said contact/notification would be made via phone, and emphasized the importance of SAFETY and not picking up the phone while driving LOL. The anticipation is killing me...

I just want to clarify, the week of June 23 (which is tomorrow and a Friday) or the week of July 23 (which is a Sunday)?

Thank you. It's been a long wait for most of us and hopefully if the week of June 23rd is still the plan then some of the anxiety will be expelled

Two of my recommendations sent me a message that they got a thank you email from Pitt yesterday.

"Your honest recommendation played a significant role in our evaluation process. We value your time and effort in providing a reference for this candidate. As an institution we highly value the insights and recommendations of professionals like yourself. Your endorsement holds great weight, and we welcome the trust and confidence you have placed in our selection process.” 
 

really overthinking this!! Not sure if it's a good sign or bad sign. Or just a sign decision are coming soon. 

But none the less I applied in January so nothing like a thank you letter 6 months later ?

My recommenders got the same email and so did my friend's. So funny.

I applied in January too. Hopefully that means they're FINALLY done with reviewing everything, LOL! I'll believe it when I see it.

My recommenders got those yesterday as well. One of them told that it looks like they are halfway saying thanks and halfway advertising for other programs. Either way it looks like things are moving since that's the only communication we have seen

Pretty sure that was an automated response to all recommenders that they did through NursingCas. I tried not to get excited about it. But I do hope that maybe a decision truly will be made today. The wait is the worst part smh.

It is funny that it was automated but also my recommenders turned their recs in January 10-15 lmaoooo

LOL I totally agree. Mine submitted theirs back in February. I hope it means they are finishing the process. I need a call today! I'm putting it in the atmosphere LOL.

If not today then am sure it will definitely be sometime next week. The month of June is almost over.
