What are your general comments?
Overall, the interview went well. Both interviews were conversational, and they never asked me anything that I was not prepared for. They answered all of my questions about the program and made me feel comfortable throughout. On top of that, both interviewers were extremely kind people with interesting pursuits.

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Tell me about "this" experience?
What was the most interesting question?
How do you resolve conflicts within a group and how do you motivate a group of diverse individuals?
How did you prepare for the interview?
I read the posts on this website, reviewed the school's website, and re-read every essay that I submitted to the school.
What was the most difficult question?
How do you resolve conflicts within a group and how do you motivate a group of diverse individuals?
What impressed you positively?
Everyone I asked really enjoyed studying there. Morever, there was a sense of comraderie and solidarity among 1st year med students, rather than any competitive spirit. All support staff and students were extremely kind and went out of their way to answer my questions.
What impressed you negatively?
The facilities were old and cramped. Fortunately, there will be a brand new facility next year. Also, the med school is becoming more and more segregated geographically from the rest of campus--it is moving out towards the hospital. That will limit interaction with undergraduates and other grad students. Finally, parking is a nightmare!
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Madison is a bigger/busier city than I expected.
