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! :)

Specializes in ICU.

I would also agree that there's probably still some full-time spots left (I would go with maybe 5), and then obviously the 10 part-time spots. They might be waiting to see if anyone's going to reject their full time offer before sending out part-time offers, so they can make sure full-time is filled (this could take a while). They are also notifying everyone incredibly late this year compared to other years, so there must be people who've already accepted spots at other schools.

A good 5 minimum rejected last year so I'm thinking about the same this year.

Seems like no calls yesterday. Guess they are done with full time calls at least until admission confirmations are done.

Hi y'all! Just got a email... I did not get in! Congratulations to everyone who did and best of luck in your studies. This one just isn't meant for me.

Hi everyone! Congrats to those that got in. Applications just opened up for next year and I am curious how you all went about formatting your personal essay portion of the application? Maybe I am overthinking it but I'm not sure if I should try to write a cohesive essay addressing all 7 things they ask, or if it is okay to just break them up into individual answers? Thanks ?

Good luck with your apps! I asked a current student and formatted it like they did ... headings : philosophy (1 page) why anesthesia (1 page) why Pitt (1/2 page) and future career goals (1/2 page) 

hope that helps ? good luck
