SarahChil Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 For anyone traveling down for an interview I would not suggest staying at the Days Inn in harmarville. I had originally booked a room there for my interview and when I showed up it seemed unsafe, the bed felt like a sofa sleeper, and it was not clean. I ended up booking a room at a Comfort Inn (RIDC PARK exit). The room was very nice, and only about a 5 minute drive to the interview sit. Just a heads up!

mbalaban Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Well, it's late in the cycle, but they have received my application. Now to really cross the fingers and get an interview invite. How many more interviews are they going to do? Anyone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarahChil Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Pitt's website lists the rest of the interview dates. I believe they even have an interview session as late as December. When I visited Pitt I was told that they will interview about 140 candidates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunshine.PA Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Hey guys! I had my interview on July 25 and I think I did really well. The only thing I am worried is the way I was dressed cause the rest of applicants were dressed in high heels. I thought I should underdress for Pitts. Should I worry? I was wearing normal interview clothing, nothing fancy. The interview was very laid back, they only asked me about my personal statement and what are my weaknesses as a candidate.

Hi Sunshine, I don't think the admission committee would see your shoes that much and make discussion whether you would be accepted or not. To me that is minor and even probably no one pays attention to your shoes. The most important thing,I believe, is your overall documents and how you performed on the interview. Whether you backed up your answers with factual evidences and examples that has some connection with the issue. You better try to forget about the shoes and the interview ingeneral and move on to your next plan... Just my suggestions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshine.PA Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 7transmembrane, Thank you for words of encouragement. I do regret that i was not dressed to impress. I will make sure to wear high heels for my next interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
