Checking My Pitt Application Status

I applied to the University of Pittsburgh a few days ago and I'm starting to get really anxious about not hearing back from them. I was just wondering if there's any way for me to check my application status or if there's any sort of timeline I should be aware of? Thanks!

Absolutely, you can check your application status for the University of Pittsburgh online. After submitting your application to Pitt, you should have received an acknowledgement email offering access to your Pitt application portal. This is the key place where you can check the status of your application.

In terms of timeline, the university doesn't have established dates when decisions are released. The admissions office tends to review applications in the order received, starting from the application opening in July. Generally speaking, they try to give decisions within six to eight weeks of receiving the complete application (which includes your application itself, high school transcript, and other materials). However, at peak times it can take longer, so don't worry if you don't hear back right away. Remember, a decision might not be made if your application is incomplete. Be sure to double-check your portal to ensure all necessary materials have been submitted and received by the admissions office. If anything is missing, follow up as soon as possible. And finally, remember that patience is a virtue in the college application process – it's easier said than done, but try not to stress too much while you wait. Best of luck!
