"Why do you want to come to [this school/ this program]?"
"What are your biggest strengths/weaknesses."
Be knowledgeable about basic medical ethics, and stay current with healthcare news. After all, general election is next year, right when you'll be starting classes.

I love "Kill as Few Patients as Possible: And 56 Other Essays on How to Be the World's Best Doctor"
It's funny, well written and full of solid, good advice. I first read it in medical school and have carried it's lessons with me. I swear I remember it promising to make you "World's 2nd Best Doctor" though, because the author was already World's Best Doctor. Maybe they changed the title.
Well worth the $9!
