I put a deposit down a few weeks ago. This will be my first formal class. About a 4.5-5 hour drive for me, I'm on the other side of the state.

I've lived a little about half an hour south of Pittsburgh my whole life (till about a week ago when I moved a little further south, now about an hour outside of the city).

It'll also be my first formal training class, so I'm very excited

This is my first formal trianing class too However I just looked at the Greygroup website and states that they require you to have already taken a class prior to this.
I emailed Greygroup and waiting to here back. Does anyone know if myself or others will be denied this class? I hate to drive all the way to Pittsburgh only to be told i signed up for the wrong class.

As long as you have solid gun handling skills and you're safe on the range, it shouldn't be a problem. If you shoot IDPA/IPSC/USPSA matches or go out shooting often, you should be fine as well. Don't get this class confused with Vicker's 1 Day Basic or VSM handgun course. Level 1 handgun is the next step up.
