I heard it's good to ask questions towards the end of an interview because it show's even more interest from the applicant.
What are some good questions to ask at the end when they ask if you have any?
On a more serious note then the poster below you:
Common questions asked at med school interviews:
1. Is there a note taking service or some form of video or audio lectures?
2. what percent of people get their first choice in the match process for residency?
3. What are the step 1 averages at the school? What percent of kids get a passing score on the first try? or for that matter what percent of kids get above xyz score? you can fill in what xyz stands for.
4. Ask specific questions about specific programs if you don't already have the answer to it. Like for BU, my friend asked about their global health program opportunities in more detail.
These were all questions to ask listed on the colorado career website link
