What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

My other interview just talked to me. In my opinion, the best way to figure out if someone is right for your school...see what they're like when relaxed.

Questions about my personal statement and discussions following that. Most of them were along these lines.

What was the most interesting question?

No really interesting questions in my interview, but one person was asked about prevailing ethics problems in medicine, and then the interviewer argued that black-market organs would have been a much better topic than the balance between keeping someone on life support for an extended period of time and their right to die...I thought that was a bit odd.
