Is it ok to jot down interview questions you want to ask on your notepad?

For my consulting interviews, it was recommended to me that I memorize the questions I wanted to ask, which was fine, since I only had a handful but I was thinking of questions to ask for med school interviews and came up with a long list of questions but was wondering if I can write them down and look at them during an interview or is that frowned upon?

I personally would feel better to memorize them so I looked more prepared

Dude. Stop giving advice on things you literally have not even come close to experiencing yet. Anonymous forums are great, but also can be dangerous for unsuspecting readers.

OP, at every single interview I've had, I have asked the interviewer if I could reference my written questions. Some of these questions I've written down ahead of time, and others I wrote down throughout the day. Every single person has said to go right ahead without any hesitation. Writing down questions can be construed as preparation in and of itself. That being said, I do keep the padfolio off to the side just in case, and I have enough fodder stored for a scenario involving a particularly ornery interviewer.
