"None of them were particularly interesting. I was asked why medicine/why NYCOM/ whether I applied to any MD schools/what my research was about. The interviewer actually admitted that she had not read any of my applications. Which I was thrilled by, because the whole interview was me giving mostly just a summery of the secondary application. Pretty straightforward and easy. "
