What was the most interesting question?

"Not a specific question, but one of my hour-long interviews was given by an anesthesiologist who took me around the OR. Yes, I got out of my suit and scrubbed in. We walked around and watched about 8 different surgeries, and it was an incredible experience. He introduced me to the surgical teams very nonchalantly as they were performing their surgery!

What impressed you positively?

"This interview was for the junior honors medical program. There is a stigma of extreme competitiveness associated with this program, but all the people I met were very outgoing and friendly. Also, the interviewers were all very personable and very very friendly.
