Admissions Process

We’re so excited that you’re interested in applying to Pitt! Please utilize this page to prepare your application for admission. If you have any questions, you are welcome to email us at pitt.admissions@pitt.edu or contact your territory manager directly.

Pitt operates on a rolling admissions policy*, and the application opens on August 1. Our Admissions Committee review applications on a daily basis starting in late August, so it is beneficial to apply early. You can expect to hear back from our Admissions Committee with a decision within 6-8 weeks once your application checklist is complete. Your application checklist can be accessed at Campus Experience.

*At the latest, your application and all required application materials must be received by:

  • April 1 for the fall term (August)
  • October 1 for the spring term (January)

While some application platforms may allow students to apply after these deadlines, please note that the deadlines for international applicants are always updated and accurate on the official Pitt Admissions website.
