What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Tell me what you think about death and dying as something that physicians have to face (because i volunteered in hospice).
why Brown? (spending the whole day there prior to answering this question was really helpful, esp. because i liked brown more the more i learned about it)
Why clinical if you are so involved in research? Most of the questions were inspired by what they saw in my application. we tried to talk about interesting things mostly, but there were a few standard questions.
