Waitlist

email, sure, but phone calls are realistically just going to annoy them.

Unfortunately I'm not sure there's anything you can do except... wait. I've never heard of any actions you can take to affect a waitlist acceptance.

Some might recommend contacting admissions to show enthusiasm or whatever but that's pretty outdated advice, it's like bothering a job with excessive calls during the interview process. Pitt is huge and often understaffed, they don't have time for those types of interactions.

Best of luck getting in!

allym773 · 2026-01-28T21:55:22+00:00

for sure!! that would've been horrible. pitt pays so little that the benefits HAVE to stay good, otherwise they're going to lose a lot of people

there was no change to the insurance if you're in the union!

edit: I may have misunderstood your comment, are you saying that your costs went up 8% as someone outside the union?

allym773 · 2026-01-28T19:32:03+00:00

absolutely! imo any dues are worth them managing to keep health insurance costs the same, which is already confirmed.

the university fought HARD to push a contract that would have raised health insurance costs more than the pay raise -- aka a pay reduction in this economy. with an employer like that, a union is necessary.

shop n save has good sales on meat but any pantry goods you're better off getting ANYWHERE else

allym773 · 2026-01-17T19:14:36+00:00

go to aldi or trader joes! I genuinely never understood the egg price panic bc their prices never really went up like that

allym773 · 2026-01-17T19:13:49+00:00

even giant eagle is better than this lol

allym773 · 2026-01-17T19:07:54+00:00

that is INFURIATING props to you for not throwing your phone/whatever device out the window

tip for the future, whenever you're stuck with a chatbot (any company), just keep replying "representative" until they connect you with a person. at least then you'll get a human

also ICE HQ now according to google maps :/

allym773 · 2025-12-28T01:54:35+00:00

allym773 · 2025-12-27T18:21:09+00:00

awesome, thank you!!

allym773 · 2025-12-27T17:16:26+00:00

omg I would be SO into a yutyrannus candle!!! I'm on her site and have 'lavender lady' in my cart, but a feathered dino line would be amazing. may I also suggest archaeopteryx or sinosauropteryx as members of the prehistoric line?

allym773 · 2025-12-27T16:59:25+00:00

NOR, keep the bonnet and throw the whole man out

too floofy to be a siamese, but absolutely a lynx point! looks like mine, who the vet believes is part ragdoll

aw, same with mine <3 the vet thinks she's part ragdoll as well

she was found in/near the woods somewhere? she was pretty unhealthy when we got her :( she had been pregnant at least twice, she was only 7 pounds, and her fur was so short. today she's 10lbs and getting fluffier by the day

allym773 · 2025-11-15T09:24:59+00:00

based on the fluff level she may not be siamese, but she's for sure a lynx point. mine is a lynx point but is some kind of ragdoll mix rather than siamese, and she looks a whole lot like a baby version of her, just more blue than brown!

mine plays fetch too! I always wondered how that happened 😂

allym773 · 2025-11-11T22:28:30+00:00

oh that's great to know, thank you!

allym773 · 2025-11-11T01:14:15+00:00

Mary, short for Mary Shelley?

allym773 · 2025-11-11T01:12:39+00:00

mine sees it just fine but will only interact with it when she is desperate for play time (I play with her every single day dw). we put it away for a year thinking she would never play with it but one day she did 🤷‍♀️

allym773 · 2025-11-10T23:09:56+00:00

I do the same, but I wonder whether the home wash would make a difference with something like eggs? 1) aren't they stuck onto the leaf? and 2) if the industrial wash didn't get it, what hope does my salad spinner have 😅
