What was your illness? I'm mentioning this question because it really affected my academics. He didn't really want to know the answer to the question. He just wanted to make sure that I thought about what implication a rigorous medical school curriculum, may or may not have. They were very clear that I did NOT have to answer and it WOULD NOT affect ANYTHING
