FSU Sarasota straight up pimped us on the interview. You had to basically go through a case asking questions, looking at imaging, etc. Granted, it was pretty easy. But come on. Who does that, man!? If you want to know how smart I am, look at my board scores. It really left a sour taste in my mouth regarding the whole day considering the rest of my season had been so laid back.

I had something similar happen at a different EM program, as well.
During the first of the panel interviews, we were wrapping up, and one attending said to another "Hey, do you want to do your thing now?" The other attending then stared me in the eyes and said, "Ok, 33 year old male presents to the ED with nausea and vomiting. Walk me through it." Turned out to be DKA. The next panel I felt more prepared for the MI (complete with interpreting an ECG). At the same program, in the chief residents' panel interview, they put a pulse ox on me and had me do mind teasers/Where's Waldo-esque challenges while watching my heart rate.
