Nothing too difficult really, I guess the question about what they could tell the committee about me.
What impressed you positively?
The schools focus on students, volunteer opportunities, holistic education, and life outside of medical school. The kindness and caring attitude of the faculty and students. The many volunteer opportunities from year one, the light 4th year schedule allowing for volunteer or travel.
What impressed you negatively?
The physical buildings were a little old, but everything seemed adequate (not state of the art). Wish we could have seen the anatomy lab, but understand their reasoning. The area isn't the best, but what can you do?

Just relax! Seriously, I didn't believe everyone but its true, just be yourself, thats the best advice I could have received.
