What are your general comments?
The interviews was not a tough as I expected. I interviewed with the dean of admissions and the MD/PhD director, 3 other PhD faculty and an MD/PhD students. Most of the interviews were conversational and straight foward. The PhD faculty just want to see if you are truely dedicated to research as a major part of your career. There was one faculty that did not ask me any questions regarding my application and just talked incessantly about his research for about an hour... wow...
Oh, one note on the hotel accomodations: The school pays for accommodation. I stayed at a bed and breakfast close to the school but the flip side of that is it's not really comfortable (and I'm a non-picky avid camper). I would pick a hotel somewhere if I have to do it over.
