"I read SDN interview feedback, and I read and re-read the literature and website for UPitt. " Report Response
"The faculty was incredibly friendly and knowledgable about their school. The students were friendly and seemed quite happy and, for lack of a better description, NORMAL. My interviewers were engaging, pleasant and did a great job of conveying the school's interest in me as a person, not just a set of numbers. The campus and facilities are very impressive, and the town seems like a great place to live. I also appreciated the continental breakfast, although I was too paranoid about my suit to consume anything other than apple juice." Report Response
"Absolutely nothing." Report Response
"No surprises here." Report Response
"I think I was long winded enough, so I will just say that I loved this school. The little things...such as receiving an itinerary with my name on it...lets me know that Pitt spends much time and effort on making sure that the day goes smoothly." Report Response
