any 'illegal' questions being levied?

any "you're in", quasi type promises made by PDs?

i wonder if any of us would have the balls to post them here...

Yes. And, I'm holding the written proof, signed and on letterhead, in my hand.

Univ Arkansas asked me and friends lots of point blank questions last year.

"Where do plan on ranking us?"

Honest and recommended similar answer: "I applied to your program because I have heard that you have a strong program and I haven't been on all of my interviews yet, and I have decided to wait until I have completed my interviews before deciding where to rank each place. I am interested in the program and would be honored to match here."

Also, they actually had multiple case scenarios (clinical problems) commonly referred to as "pimping" at the interview. It was basic medicine, not necessary to memorize anything anesthesia. It seemed done in a positive spirit but it left a bad taste in my mouth nonetheless.
