What are you looking for in a med school?

What was the most interesting question?

It was actually not a question - it was "I wasn't good at physics, either!" How do you respond to that?

What was the most difficult question?

Honestly, it was what I'm looking for in a med school. It doesn't have a discrete answer, since I've never BEEN in med school and I can only guess what will work for me.
