I don't know, most were very vague.

What was the most difficult question?

Tell me about your family. Mostly bc one of the interviewers asked me to tell him about my family, then he asked me to tell him about my father, then asked about my mother. And by the end of it I felt like I had already told him everything there was to say about my family. He was strange...

7 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read interview feedback, school's website, my AMCAS stuff.

What impressed you positively?

The facilities and faculty are very nice. The students seemed like they enjoyed the school very much. Cost of living is also pretty reasonable.

What impressed you negatively?

The first interviewer (of 3) who interrogated me about my family.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That I would be asked more about my family and upbringing than any activities I had done.

What are your general comments?

Overall I enjoyed the interview day a lot, it was stressful since it was my first interview and the first of the 3 20-minute interviews was with a strange man who just asked me about my family. It threw me off guard. However, the other 2 interviews went well and I ended up with an acceptance. I really liked the school a lot and would likely attend if I had not gotten accepted somewhere closer to home.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

None, they were very nice people. Among the nicest of any place I interviewed.
