What are your general comments?
The student interview (closed-file) was very informal and lasted about 30 minutes, while the faculty interview was open-file and last a little more than an hour. My faculty interviewer was incredible--very friendly and relaxed, probably the nicest interviewer I've had.

Interview Process
Interview questions they asked
Do you have girlfriend? What does your family think about your decision to pursue medicine? Faculty interviewer had some questions very specific to my personal statement (he knew it quite well) and to some of my ECs, however he said he purposefully didn't look at my grades/MCATs.
How did you prepare for the interview?
Previous interviews, read the school's brochure, this site.
What impressed you positively?
Student happiness and enthusiasm for the school. My faculty interviewer. The area of Philly in which the school is located.
What impressed you negatively?
Most students seem to avoid going to class like the plague--I'm not sure if this speaks to the quality of instruction they receive. The facilities are definitely old.
Success!
