"Pitt doesn't cater much to foreign study." Report Response
"Overall, I thought Pittsburgh was impressive. The days starts early (around 8AM), and though there was supposed to be a 'welcome', we just chatted amongst ourselves before we were called for the tour. One interesting part of the tour was a stop in the anatomy lab where students were dissecting. It was a surprising first experience of anatomy and certainly impressive that they let prospectives in there. The students were very open to questions and excited to show us what they were working on. After the tour was a speech about the curriculum and then lunch with some 1st/2nd years. The interviews were all fairly laid back. The student/faculty interviewers have a paper with reqiured and suggested questions on them and my faculty interviewer even went over questions they were supposed to answer about us (e.g. Does this student demonstrate creativity?). There is also a fifteen minutes meeting with a dean, and though this should be easy, for some reason, mine wasn't despite the other interviews going extremely well. All-in-all Pitt does a good job selling itself despite hosting such a long day. I would love to go here. " Report Response
