i read threads from previous cycles, and they all seem to say that most of the class came from the hold/waitlist. is that still true?

Rinky3: you probably got in
 
Got an acceptance e-mail at 5:30 pm EST time! I just read elsewhere that that is the specific time they send acceptance letters! Good luck to you guys and I hope you end up joining the class as well!

And I also got an interview notice on Friday but just saw it this evening. Yay!

@Berimbolo , my husband is from that area. The Tricities Airport (code TRI) services major airlines like American, Delta, and similar. Have a look and see if it will help you. Website: http://www.triflight.com/
 
Put on the holding list today. I was on the holding list last year from around March until I was notified that I probably would not receive acceptance since school had started at Quillen. Discouraging but I am going to keep working hard and hoping. From what I've seen and heard, about 40-50 people receive acceptances off of the holding list every year.

Yeah I saw. I keep checking almost every day to see what kind of chance I'm standing lol
Hopefully they will update them pretty soon after the holidays once they get back into the swing of things. Good luck with the hold, I've read quite a few of the threads from previous years and it seems several people have been accepted after being placed in the hold/waitlist category.
 
Last year and the previous years... the pick from the hold list was very minimal.... I am on
hold this year...

Interviewing here Tuesday. Any advice from anyone that has already had an interview this cycle? Any pointed questions like some schools or was it more laid back? Thanks!

It was way laid back for me. Interviewed the end of Oct. On active hold. But my first interviewer and I walked around campus during the interview (It was a pretty day) and it was very conversational. Second interview was more structured, but still very comfortable.
 
Can those who have been accepted share stats?
3.8 / 30 / 4.0 masters in micro from top 5.

As an aside, I feel stats are less important at Quillen compared to "fit." I know several people who were rejected with much better stats than I have, but were more questionable of a "perfect fit"...just my $0.02.

I haven't heard anything yet. Does this school do silent rejections? They haven't updated their entering class statistics page since 11/6/14.
 
On my interview day they gave us a form that says the next meeting is 'tentatively scheduled for Monday, January 26' (which was today). For those of us that have interviewed over the last month, we should be hearing from them sometime this week... 😱
