Do you think your parents' involvement in medicine has influenced you to follow that path?
Have you thought about applying to the MD/PhD program? (I have a lot of research experience - I wouldn't expect them to ask everyone this question.)
Tell me about yourself.

What was the most interesting question?

Nothing that really threw me - all pretty standard and expected.

Just read interview feedback and looked over the school website.

What impressed you positively?

The students seemed very happy - not just the ones that spoke with us or gave the tours, but the ones I spoke with in the halls and in the restroom!

What impressed you negatively?

The tour was pretty much nonexistant; the only part of the actual hospital we saw was the cafeteria. However, the lunch with the students was nice.
