Hey guys, a professor from a medical school just recently offered to mentor me. I met her through a mutual friend, and she said that she wants to talk about my premed experience and what I'm looking for over lunch. What kind of questions should I be asking? She currently does research, but I'm not sure if she's a practicing physician. I'm looking to make more connections, I'm just not sure how to ask.

I would ask the normal, what mcat and gpa would be competitve. Ask about how their classes are set up. Tell them what you have done so far with shadowing and vol. And see if they can offer you feedback on your application so far.
