University of Minnesota: Interview consisted of four 25 minute interviews with two faculty or one chief and one attending in each interview. Very casual and informative; I had no real difficult questions (except how I'd like to be remembered after my death...I'm gonna die!?!?!?!). Each station was meant to @#$%&s different categories such as personal attributes and technical skills. However, to @#$%&s technical skills they don't have you actually do anything...just tell them why you think you have the necessary skills. Some interviewees did have to read some x-rays and answer some difficult ethical questions, but rare. Facilities were impressive, especially VA and Hennepin County Hospital.

Mayo: Agree with previous posts. Unparalleled facilities. If you're interested in quality research I don't think you can find better support staff (stats, etc.)

IU: Pretty laid back interview. Four brief interviews. Everyone interviews with a chief resident and the director. The other two are random. No real tough questions, mostly get to know you stuff. The director asked everyone about their volunteer experience and what they would do to solve the health care problem.
