What was the most interesting question?

Many people in your family are doctors, how did you come to the conclusions that this was right for you on your own terms?

I was asked this too

What was the most difficult question?

At the end of every group interview they ask you to answer a question as a goup, ours was: you three are creating a new reality show where the winner gets all expenses paid to medical school. Design your show and present it to us, the NBC panel.

I was asked this too

How did you prepare for the interview?

Reread AMCAS and secondary, prepared a quick verbal update on my app and what sets northwestern apart in my mind as the school I want to be at, and reviewed previous panel questions through SDN --> VERY HELPFUL! I heard many of the questions I saw on here.

What impressed you positively?

Facilities, location, enthusiasm of the students we met.

What impressed you negatively?

A couple of the other people being interviewed (though I am sure this happens everywhere...)

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Don't stress so much over the group interview! Actually, you should focus more on the one-on-one interview as this is the one where they ask you specifically detailed hard questions about your application (strengths, weaknesses, etc). The group interview is closed-file, so make sure when they ask you to introduce yourself to throw in some interesting topics which you want to talk about later because this is all they have to go on... otherwise you will ened up with the questions that others on this website have said they thought were a waste of time --> ie ''what is on your IPod''. They won't ask you that unless they are fishing for answers and you didnt' give them an interesting topic to run with.
