What was the most interesting question?

What will you do if you don't get in this cycle? (they asked this as a segway into reminding me that they are one of the few schools that will give you concrete feedback on your application if you are not admitted).

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

8 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Looked over competencies, new curriculum, structure of the program and the various campuses.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

I very much like their new curriculum setup. Especially making the first 2 years pass/fail to reduce stress levels and competition between peers.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Didn't have enough time to get through the full financial aid presentation which was a shame because the guy really knew his stuff and had some excellent content in the slides. Would have loved to hear his full presentation.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Definitely brush up on your knowledge of the ACGME competency categories. See http://mse.medicine.iu.edu/curricular-affairs/curriculum/competencies.html

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

The interviewers I had were excellent. They clearly stated at the beginning of the interview that their main goal was to talk about any weak points in my application so that they could defend me as well as possible when I came up for discussion by the admissions committee. They asked some probing questions, but genuinely seemed to have my best interests in mind.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

I'm sure it is difficult logistically, but it would have been nice to have the option of staying after the interview day concluded for a campus tour to see some of the facilities.
