Was the hold through email or phone call?

It was an email and it did not say “active hold” like some other people have said. Just appreciative not to get the R flat out

Were you on active hold prior to acceptance? When in November did you interview?
Click to expand...
I was not on active hold before my acceptance. Although, from my understanding Quillen puts quite a lot of people on WL. I interviewed mid November.
 
Accepted students: would y’all be interested in starting a GroupMe?
There’s not an existing one as far as I’m aware.

Can you share your stats?
Click to expand...
510 MCAT and 4.0 GPA. I got a REALLY bad Casper score (2nd quartile). Good enough extracurriculars, a lot of clinical experience and exposure, research, and leadership. My application did not have any community service, but I did start some over this application cycle and made sure to let them know about it via an update letter post interview.

I saw in your other post that you got put on active hold, and get the sense that you might be feeling neurotic about the whole endeavor. If you look at the current entering stats page you can see that they have accepted only 45 of the 131 (34%) in state applicants they have interviewed. At the end of it all, Quillen tends to accept between 45-50% of those that they interview. It is clear that they are putting quite a lot of people on active hold right now. Quillen is very known for doing this, especially with people that interview earlier in the cycle (September thru December). I have read that they do this very intentionally to not give too much favor to those that interview early and to be fair to the people with later interview dates. In addition, the stats of current accepted students are much higher than the final stats of previous years. I don't know your current stats, but it seems like they are being selective with who they are sending A's to at this point in the cycle.

My point in telling you this is to tell you that it's okay. Quillen is known for their generous use of active hold. Previous years students have even said here on SDN that a majority of students in their class were put on active hold before their A. While it may feel like that it's over, IT'S NOT. Take some time to relax, spend time with friends and family. This process is incredibly stressful and you've worked incredibly hard to get to this point.

I assume the average MCAT is up 5 points because at this point in the cycle they've only accepted some super high level applicants?

I wrote about it a bit in an earlier comment. I think that is definitely playing into it. I don't know what the previous years averages are/were, but honestly 507 seems a little low. The MSAR says their average is 511. So I don't know if 507 is a low outlier or if the MSAR is just really out of date. I don't think they have records of previous classes listed unless I just can't find it.

509 for the class of '26 and 507 for class of '27 seems pretty accurate from the scores people have shared with me. The lowest score I've personally heard of was like a 501 and the highest was somewhere around 523. I've had a bunch of people say they scored in like the mid 500s.
 
Does anyone know if their monthly meeting was delayed due to the snow that came through the area last week? Just wondering around when to expect a response. TIA!

From my interview, it seemed that some of the admissions committee members (the ones conducting the interviews) don't actually live in Johnson City. I'd imagine most of the meetings are virtual for that reason.

They mentioned that they don’t meet this month and we will hear in February.

I interviewed on 12-11-23, and I was told the committee would convene in mid January. Therefore, I’m hoping this Thursday or Friday will be the day of notification, whether email or phone call. However, I don’t know if the winter weather impacted their meeting time. Good luck everyone!
