Hi all,

Did anyone apply to the Hot Metal Bridge Post-Bacc program at the University of Pittsburgh? Since we are in the middle of the decision release period (mid-May to mid-June), I was wondering if anyone heard back yet? If so, how did they contact you and what department did you apply to?

Thanks!

I'm sorry to hear that :( I applied to Econ and have yet to hear back as well. Did you get a response by e-mail or on the application platform?

I heard back and I didn't get in.

Thanks for the update. I received notification too and didn't get it either ? I asked for a status update last week. I know there are two rounds - one review by the director, then the department. My app was forwarded to the department (also psych) but ultimately, didn't work out. Sigh.

@rx971 - notification was via e-mail. Maybe your department has not finalized decisions yet.

Agreed! Maybe it is good news at this rate since you did not receive rejection yet. Good luck!

Let's hope so!!!

One last question, if I may -- was your notification by the department, or from the program director?

Acceptances typically come from the department. In the case of psychology most likely from the faculty advisor or the department chair of HMB. I didn’t find out until like the last week of June tbh.

That's very helpful, thank you! The whole thing is frustrating because the HMB director is hard to get in touch with :/

I know!! It’s sooo frustrating! I’m sorry!

I had to call and e-mail a lot, and just found out I was rejected after a phone call from the Director of Graduate Studies ?

@rx971 Sorry to hear that! ? I can only speculate but maybe you were an alternate, which is why you might've received a rejection later (after offers were accepted) -- or perhaps your department is slow in communicating their decisions. Either way, hope you still get a chance to prep for grad studies! Will you apply directly now?

@MindOverMatter It's okay! I like to thing these things happen for a reason. And no -- I submitted an application to a digital humanities fellowship as well, so I'm still waiting on that to fill the time for my gap year! I'll be applying to PhD programs this fall, just not at Pitt.
