[chilly_md]

Thank you @bob22! for sharing this year's questions.

2023-2024 East Tennessee (Quillen) Secondary Prompts

(All max 1500 character counts)

1. What makes you interested in Quillen? Discuss your perceptions on how attending Quillen would align with your future goals and your hopes for how it will shape you into the physician you want to become.

2. Social justice, systemic racism, and equity for all have been at the forefront of national conversations. Quillen College of Medicine recognizes that many barriers still exist for persons of color and those from historically underrepresented communities. As a physician you will have opportunities to foster an environment of change for your patients and community. Please share with us your reflections on how your life experiences have impacted the development of your values and attitudes toward others, particularly those with backgrounds or values different from your own.

3. Applicant choice. Please select only one of the following questions to answer. Be sure to indicate your choice by starting with the number associated with the question:

1. There is no doubt that the level of stress brought on by medical schools can impact a student's mental health and emotional well-being. Discuss the ways you plan to manage your own health and well-being during medical school.
2. Describe an experience you have had during your life that has given you a unique understanding of human suffering and what did you learn from this experience?
3. Use this space to tell the committee anything else about yourself that you have not had the opportunity to present elsewhere in your application.

Good luck to everyone applying!

I'm moving to Knoxville from Florida in the spring to follow my fiance who starts his PhD this year in Knox. Anyone know if I could somehow express this to them and show that I'm not just randomly applying from Florida?

IS, but extremely low MCAT. I have what some might consider an "x factor" (10 years of corporate leadership experience, scuba instructor, late blooming lesbian and single mom lol) so I decided to shoot my shot at my IS MD schools. I toured at ETSU and LOVED it, so I am disappointed, but not surprised. I have 2 interviews elsewhere so I'm considering myself blessed! Good luck everyone- ETSU is a great school.

Just received an email thanking me for my patience and informing me that all applications are reviewed carefully. I'm told that there may be additional delays but they will get back to me ASAP once a decision is made. Is this a hold email?

I just got the same email. I wouldn’t treat it as a hold notification. Instead I would interpret it exactly for what it is: they’re still working through applications and yours is in the queue for evaluation. Best of luck! Hopefully you get an update soon!

Yep! You can probably call them back as well. I met a student during a tour of the campus who said she called the number back a few hours later, and they offered her a spot.
