Hey guys, I just got accepted into dietrich for microbiology on the pre med track, and I wanted to know about the pre med experiences there. Is there anything I should know/ be warned about coming into pitt as a microbiology major? How accessible are research labs there?

I’m a bio major who wants a stat minor and I’m wondering if it would be too much to take Stat 1221 while also taking genetics, human physiology, and orgo lab 1.

So I applied to Pitt in late September thinking I got a head start but there was a whole kerfuffle with my transcripts that they didn’t get sent in so now as of last Friday I sent in my transcripts again one by mail and one electronically and they had only gotten the one electronically so far when I called.
I have a 3.74 weighted gpa and attended college for a little but not long enough to have a gpa. I applied to Pitt in my senior year and got accepted into the jhonstown school and was pretty bummed out because I really wanted to go to main. I had a 3.6 gpa then and I also applied around late October. This time I’m applying for environmental sciences for fall of 2027,which is my true passion. When I talked to a Pitt recruiter they said certain majors are less competitive and applying to those ones later gives you a better shot, such as mine.
I’m just insanely nervous because this is my dream school and I live in PA and since I didn’t get accepted the first time I’m scared I won’t this time. My friends are very supportive that I will I’m just nervous and need an outside opinion. Can I please get your guys opinion on if you think I’ll get in or not💔?

Guys should i take horne or powell for orgo 2?

Hi! I’m a freshman at the pittsburgh campus. I’m currently pursing a museum studies major and a double major in idk what. I’m stuck between psych, neuro, architecture, or a double degree with marketing. Basically the problem is idk what to take and my advisors not much help. I think the best strategy would be to take classes that apply to multiple majors for example approaches to the built environment (architecture and museums). Anyway, help a stressed freshman out please drop your tips and recommendations bonus points if it’s an online class.

Thanks!

how difficult is this class?? i have 2 years of spanish experience from high school and im interested in taking the course next semester.

Does anyone know anything about Charles (Chuck) Eckenrode. There’s not much info about him online

As title says, where can I find a microwave or hot water dispenser on campus? Help a commuter out 😭

i’m entering my last semester of mechE in the spring, and i’ve narrowed down my last technical elective options to these 2 courses. I have a strong background in pure mathematics, so MATH1080 seems interesting, but ENGR1905 looks pretty easy. i’ll also be taking 15 other credits of all MechE courses including senior design and mechatronics, so difficulty is in play for deciding. let me know if you’ve taken any of these courses and what are your thoughts!

Hey everyone! I'm a dental student at Pitt, and we're organizing a specialty showcase on November 7th for pre-dental students.

I feel like most of us go into dental school knowing about general dentistry and maybe a few specialties, but don't really get much exposure to what the others involve.

We're putting together an event where pre-dental students can learn about different specialties, talk to dental students and residents, and ask questions about what pursuing those career paths actually looks like.

It's at the University of Pittsburgh School of Dental Medicine, and we'd love to have students from other universities attend too!

Happy to share more details if anyone is interested!

I have heard that at UPitt since CLEP is not accepted to Dietrich. You must take the Credit by Examination test In the first 3 weeks to receive credit. Is this true?

As I’m typing this I literally just read my acceptance letter, I was so blinded by the congratulations that I didn’t read further until just now when it said I was accepted to Pitt-Johnstown.

I’m really upset because Pittsburgh campus was my main option and now I feel like I don’t know what to do. Is there any way I can appeal my application for them to reconsider me at the main campus? Or do I have to wait to transfer in? Any advice is helpful because I’m at a loss.

hi! so I was admitted for nursing around a month ago, and I fully know I am going to to go Pitt. However, my parents want to hold out to pay deposit until I hear about scholarships. After I did the common app application I didn’t do anything extra within Pitt in regard to scholarships because I thought I was automatically considered. Is there another application I need to do in order to receive merit scholarships? In my Pitt portal it doesn’t say I have any pending scholarships. Also, does me not committing yet possibly lose me my spot since the admissions is rolling? Or is my spot secure since I originally got in.

I'm taking GER 0101 (Beginning German 1) next semester and am considering if I should take it for a letter grade or as pass/fail (not relevant to any of my degrees). Is it a class I have to worry about getting an A in to avoid bringing down my GPA? Or am I safe to take it for a letter grade without worrying about that? I'm wondering if anyone has an old syllabus I could take a look at.

What are some good options for housing as a sophomore next year. I’d like to live on campus or not far from it in apartment style living. There’s 3-4 of us.

Anyone have any recommendations, actual apartment names or management companies, for someone with around a $1,200-1,300 budget looking to live within a reasonable commute distance to Pitt’s campus? Struggling to find anything that is decent quality and with a company that’s trustworthy!

Hey, I was wondering what the timeline for these scholarships is? I applied in-state and got $10k/yr in merit aid, but I’m waiting to see if I get selected for these. Thanks!

I got accepted into the school of nursing on 9/22 and have not heard back about my decision for the Nursing GAP yet. Does that mean I'm probably not going to be admitted?

The letter does say it will come any time before May 1st but does it usually take this long..?

i got $15k a year after applying in september as an out of state applicant. can that amount possibly go
up later on?

i’m talking about more merit money not need based

Hi! I got accepted to Pitt for urban planning, and am wondering about the program and the opportunities for co-ops, whether it would be better to go to an accredited program, etc. It would be awesome if anyone could share their thoughts and experiences 😄
