The act of bringing a resume/CV is standard and shows foresight at nearly any other post-collegiate interview
I don't think this is true. Also, medical school admissions has AMCAS, which transmits far more information than is contained in most collegiate-level CV's.

You are wrong in assuming that a decision would be "based on" such a thing. We sift through a great deal of data on each applicant, and committees are composed of many different viewpoints. The basic question is whether it is worth it to the individual to risk being an outlier with regard to typical interview behavior.
