University of Pittsburgh 2021

[jshtoole]

Hello all! Creating a new thread for the 2021 cycle. I applied and interviewed last year and Pitt is my dream school. Looking forward to meeting you all. Last year I got a call from admissions in February about and interview in March and I imagine that they'll follow a similar timeline.

CONGRATS to everyone who has been accepted!

I am looking to apply for 2022-would anyone mind sharing their stats? I have an overall 3.2 GPA, 3 years RN experience (1.5 years CVICU), and should have my CCRN/GRE completed by the end of this year.

Sure!

- GPA: 3.08 overall, 4.0 BSN (I think their website states they look at the nursing GPA) My prior GPA from when I was a student-athlete was obviously garbage but all of those grades were between 5-10 years ago. I don't know how much they look at the past or not. I also have a BA in Psychology.

- GRE: 307 composite (152 verbal, 155 quantitative, 4.0 analytical writing) I had to retake the GRE for the June 1st deadline (what was the May 1st deadline but pushed back due to COVID). They strictly want you to be in the 50th percentile on all three areas of the exam to be eligible to interview.

- Experience: 2.5 years (at time of application) Neurosurgery/Vascular Surgery ICU at an Academic Level I Trauma Comprehensive Stroke Center

- Certifications: CCRN, PALS, ACLS, BLS,

- Miscellaneous: CRNA Shadowing (14 hours over a variety of 7 cases), research through my nurse residency program, various leadership roles (charge nurse, preceptor, unit validator, I'm on three committees at my hospital), a lot of community volunteering as a student nurse and a registered nurse, CRRT superuser, Ultrasound Guided PIV certified, I also made sure to let them know in my interview that I was currently taking a graduate DNP pathophysiology and DNP statistics course through another university to prepare for graduate study.

Hope this helps and best of luck!! ?

I sent an email to Cyndi and she just replied saying that decisions had not been made yet and to expect to hear something early next week.

I also got the call!! I haven't gotten any follow up emails from them, though, and am excited to start the ball rolling to make it official. Does anyone else know what the next step is in the process?? Can't wait to meet everyone!
