-How should I prepare other than going over my application and transcript?
Thanks

IAUPREMED said it correctly - just be yourself. It's not a tough interview by any stretch of the imagination, but don't be an stupid about what you say either. The people you will talk to will be polite and will try to make the interview go as easy as possible, just be truthful about your feelings and go from there.
My interview was fairly straight forward, why do you want to be in medicine, what turned you to medicine in the first place, do you have any experiences in medicine, etc. Nothing really all that intense. They'll ask you if you have any questions for them - and it might not be a bad idea to have a few ready, things that you feel are important to you or things that you may not fully understand about the school.
Anyway, good luck with the interview, I'm sure it'll go fine.
