Reasons to be cheerful-Part 1 -MSA

Having flown a bit in the USA I know of what you speak. I never met one local pilot who ever mentioned terrain clearance in any brief, just obeyed ATC all the way.
A simple question if you don't mind:
IF, as a result of srcew up (either by crew or even ATC with radar) you do receive a genuine GPWS "Pull UP", at what point in the subsequent recovery will you level off?
