OK to bring a sheet with prepared school-specific questions to interview?

Would it be weird or look bad to bring a typed-out sheet with specific questions to an interview? I have them written down because I'm genuinely interested in the answers to these questions - a lot of them are about "intangibles" that really matter to me in getting a feel for fit, and I don't want to forget to ask some of them in the rush of the day.

I recognize this might look a little brown-nosey though-- should I avoid it? Maybe just have it folded in my pocket to look at between interview sessions?

I think that would look way too rehearsed, and unnatural. I wouldnt do it.
Not the best idea IMO

(if you could land the interview after all of the studying, MCAT(!) etc, Im sure you can remember a few questions if you put some time into it!)

Do not do this.
Come prepared. If you forget, email the person to follow up.

Don't go in with a piece of paper. Choose and memorize only a few questions that will impact where you choose to matriculate (if you receive multiple acceptances) and ask those. Being asked too many questions in rapid succession is annoying. Don't be that type of applicant

Only if you bring a pen and clipboard for the interviewer to answer with

If you’re super worried about forgetting your question just jot a note in your notepad or whatever you would take to the interview in the first place and check it before you go to your interview. I’ve taken notes during most of the presentations at the 3 schools I’ve been at thus far and I think that’s fairly common
