"What would you do if a woman came in with a breast lump that needed immediate surgery, but her new insurance wouldn't cover the surgery because she claimed to have no pre-existing conditions. She asks you to sign a paper which states that this wasn't a pre-existing condition (even though it obviously had to have been) so that she can get coverage and have insurance cover the life saving surgery. What do you do?" Report Response | I was asked this question too

"I liked UIC more than I thought I would. It's not the best school in Chicago, but for a state school it's pretty good." Report Response
"The interview day was good, there were three interviewers who had very different styles. One asked me hard questions, but I didn't feel threatened at all, he was just trying to see my though process. The tour was really short, lunch was really good. The attitude I got from UIC was what I think of a typical state school, it's a sink or swim attitude. There are lots of good opportunities there if you seek them out and take advantage of them, but no one is going to hold you hand or even encourage you do to anything. For a state school, it's a good choice. It's probably one of the best "values" (as in bang for your buck) you can get for a med school" Report Response
