Can an interview have been good even if it didn't feel "conversational"? Seems like some interviewers just aren't that way.

People tend to be terrible at judging how their interviews went.
Most have really no accurate idea of how well they did at an interview at any school. I have had applicants break down discussing something at an interview be accepted and other outstanding students who perform exceedingly well they thought only to not understand they looked arrogant and entitled and thus be denied.
I find most people are not good judges of something they have little experience in. And most applicants have no experience in med school interviews. It is related to the The Dunning-Kruger effect where, simplified, people have no idea that they have no idea.
Hadn't heard the term before, so just looked this up...and ermagerd, this describes basically everything I have ever dealt with in teaching. And most of life.Dunning-Kruger. In my opinion, quite possibly the most brilliant piece of psychological research of the 20th century. SO widely applicable.
I'd take that class in a heart beat. Sounds amazing.And Dunning used to teach a course with visting professor John Cleese from Monty Python. Whatelse could be better
