Hey guys, just updating this thread that I got waitlisted for PMI today. I did attend the first interview weekend (Jan 21/22 I think?) and was really hoping for an acceptance. Anyway good luck to everyone still waiting on results!!

Thanks for the update! I still haven't heard anything at all. I did interview the second weekend though.

I was one of those email rejections! I hope you do better than I do!

Ah I'm so sorry  I hope you got in elsewhere!

I interviewed there first weekend and haven't heard back yet. I saw a few posting acceptances/ rejections, but only 3 or 4. The website said they do rolling admissions until march 1st, so hopefully we don't have to wait much longer. 

Same here, haven't heard anything yet. Someone posted that they had been sent a rejection letter by email apparently so hopefully we hear back soon... I suspect the fact that I haven't been called yet means I didn't get in, but I hope I'm mistaken

Hi. I'm also applying to the PMI at Pitt but I haven't heard back anything from the program after I submitted my application. Could you tell me when you had the interview? Or do you know if PMI has sent out all interview invitations for international students?

Hello! My interview was the weekend of January 29th. They gave me two options, the weekend of the 22nd or the weekend of the 29th. 

I'm not sure if there are separate interviews for international students... I know there was one girl at my interview weekend who was an international student but I believe she did her undergraduate in the US so she may have been lumped in with domestic applicants, I'm not sure. Sorry I can't be of more help!

[Mom doesn’t want me to go...]

I'm sorry. It's unfair of her to suck the joy out of your admissions. 

My mom isn't too keen on me going either, but I guess I got one over on her by applying to a couple schools in California (we are also from the South, and she is terrified of Cali). She's so glad I'm not going to Cali that she has accepted the fact that I will (hopefully) end up in Pittsburgh. She is constantly like "I know it isn't fun, but I am so glad Stanford rejected you." Tbh it would be kind of shitty if I wasn't so dead set on Pitt that the Stanford rejection didn't phase me.

Pitt is my top choice, and they release sometime in February. I am super excited about this program and hopeful that I will get an offer, but the waiting is killing me. I heard they call people they accept, so every time it hits 5 pm EST and I haven't received a phone call, my heart sinks a little...

I'm dying to talk to other PMI applicants and/or people who are hoping to start grad school at Pitt in the fall... If you're out there, let's commiserate!
