What are your general comments?
Interviewer #1 was wonderful. The entire interview was very conversational. The first thing he said was “I think you’re going to make an outstanding doctor,†which made everything else easy. We laughed a lot and sat around swapping stories. Easy breezy…
Interviewer # 2 tried to ask intelligent questions about my research, which was ridiculous because she didn’t know anything about the subject. She kept asking irrelevant questions and I (tactfully) tried to answer the questions without making her feel like an idiot. Her other question, however, were very specific to my application and demonstrates she thoroughly reviewed my application before the interview.

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
XXX is a very competitive undergraduate institution; do you think you are going to fit in at Tech? (Interviewer #2)
How did you prepare for the interview?
SDN
What impressed you positively?
Students and staff were overly helpful/friendly-- I'm very independent and I'm not accustom to people going OUT OF THEIR WAY to help me. Freaky almost...
What impressed you negatively?
The school is in the process of changing curriculum and, when I asked the curriculum director/speaker “what changes are you planning?†he could not give me an answer. This was concerning. When asked “what is the board passing rate?†no one in the auditorium (from the school) could give me an answer.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Nothing.
