My DMs are open if you, or anyone else, wants to talk. This super sucks and I am also feeling really low knowing that this was the best shot of getting an A here. But even just getting an interview at a place like Pitt means that we are all well-qualified to be doctors and will ultimately find success, even if it's through a different path than maybe we'd hoped for. Hang in there everyone, you're not alone <3

did anyone who got in off WL receive an email? does it have any info about how longs we have to decide
 
bit the bullet and called the admissions office, they said the WL applicants are being reviewed on a rolling basis. The person said that adcom is still reviewing the WL. I didn’t ask if all the WL decisions were released today, but the fact they said rolling maybe is a good sign? idk i don’t want to get my hopes up lol. I hope this provides some insight for my fellow WL applicants

I hate to be that guy asking about this when there are students anxiously waiting to hear back. Extending support to yall.
Does this school have internal ranking such as AOA, grading system and are lectures recorded?

No class ranking, no AOA, P/F at least for preclinical im not sure about clinical years. Class structure is group based learning, not lecture style, and attendance is mandatory.

Has anyone on the waitlist received rejections yet/ after May 1st? I know Pitt has been changing its policies and procedures surrounding the waitlist almost yearly for a while, so I was wondering what it was looking like this year. I know it can be hard to talk about; this process is unbelievably grueling, so just a like or whatever is fine, too!!

I just called the adcom. Apparently, no one on the waitlist has been sent rejections, and they're still actively reviewing the waitlist.

I don’t think absolute rejections for those on WL will be sent out until after the first day of orientation (happened last year for me)

Does anyone know how frequently they will be revisiting / sending invites off of the waitlist? Will it be once a week or on a rolling basis?

I don’t know if it matters too much but I saw the UCI match day this year and most people matched to California schools. There were a crazy number of matches to UCSD. And many people matched to other UCs and a few to Stanford. Obviously there were out of state matches too.

I’m sure you could match to a CA residency from Pitt, especially if you emphasize your desire to return to CA, but chances may be higher if you go to a CA school.

I’m interested to see other people’s input too

I have no data or credentials to support this but my thinking is that matching into CA would be easier from UCI, but matching a competitive surgical subspecialty would be easier from Pitt. Depends on which is most important to you and if you’re 100% decided on that specialty.

ERAS adding the geographical preference essays on the residency app is a game changer. If you choose Pitt, you could still show strong ties in that section. And with program signaling, I doubt you'd have trouble matching back home. Match lists don’t give the full picture

WL -> A email at 12:20 pm EST today!! I wrote them an update letter in the Fall and my letter of intent in February a few days after the initial round of decisions. In absolute shock right now, and overjoyed is an understatement. I've been imagining what this would be like for months now but had given up hope of it happening after missing out on the first rounds of WL movement. I hope there is more good news to come for my fellow waitlisters <3
