but to quickly answer your questions...

the questions asked are the typical ones such as why did you choose to go into medicine? do you have any back up plans if you didnt get in?
be prepare to talk about any weaknesses on your app and also some interviewers are interested in your hobbie and what do you like to do on your free time.

good luck.

I want to say the acceptance is 1 in 3 or 1 in 4 after the interview (not 100% sure). But what hell do I know....maybe the ultimate moderator could answer this part!

Really adcom is that selective... then again what do I know... I've never heard of someone being rejected but then again I don't think people who are rejected frequent this board much.

From the SGU website:
Approximately 50–60% of all applicants are granted interviews to find those unique individuals who are exceptional candidates for medical school.

Since SGU accepts 20-25% of all applicants, the chances of admission after interview are roughly 40-50%.
