What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Why medicine?

What was the most interesting question?

What type of art medium do you prefer?

How did you prepare for the interview?

Mocks, read, worried, stressed....

What was the most difficult question?

It was an extremely personal one that I am not comfortable divulging BUT it was legitamate and I had no problem answering it (but most would have)

What impressed you positively?

Nothing was a stand out.

What impressed you negatively?

Ummmm, many people would have perceived the day as being negative and very poorly organized (e.g. 3 scheduling errors were made on my already re-scheduled interview) BUT I was fine with it. There were no school tours so McMaster remains a bit of a mystery. It was a long day (8 hours) so yeah, it was a bit painful (too much adrenaline for TOO long) but whatever....

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I had been told that my interview time may be re-scheduled. I had important plans for apres interview that had to be 86d without notice.
