It just makes sense

Chit chat between medical students enrolling at the University of Chicago

Hi Guys,
I know this may raise some eyebrows, but I did not get a 2-step TB test. I got the Quantiferon test (blood test), and apparently that was fine with the admissions office. I just turned in my immunization forms today. I know they clearly state "Only 2-step TB test is accepted", but I thought I would give it a try anyway. And it was fine.

Hopefully that will save somebody on this thread some time.

Thanks for letting us know. I did the same thing, as the form says "Optional: QTBG Quantiferon". I think that the QTBG test is actually a better test (no allergic reactions/less false positives) , so it makes sense that they would accept that one.
