"Continental breakfast. Pretty good bagel." Report Response
"Nearly everything besides breakfast. The facilities seemed dingy, way too much time was spent sitting around in the admissions office, the whole day felt unorganized, the students seemed arrogant and did not seem to interact well with each other, faculty interviewer had an open file but told me she didn't read it, the WISER center (supposedly the shining light of Pitt) did not blow me away, faculty member presenting the curriculum did not know much about the curriculum... I could go on and on. I did not feel welcomed or impressed. " Report Response
"Our "tour of the facilities" mostly meant "walking around outside in the cold and venturing into the basketball stadium at one point"" Report Response
"I keep thinking I caught Pitt on a bad day since most other people have such glowing things to say but... I can understand a couple things going wrong with an interview day but it just seemed like most things went wrong. Probably not the right school for me." Report Response
