I would suggest you ask for a interview by phone (like previous students) so you do not come all out here. However, coming here may give you an example of what you are going to be living in. Most of PR is not up to US standards and it its hard living here. It IS BEAUTIFUL here too- a tropical paradise. But when your running water is brown and the lights go out when it rains you do question is it worth it or not. Do not worry too much about the interview, and you'll understand when you get here. We are a not quite a "professional" school as compared to the states.
Take the OAT as soon as you can- even if you get in somewhere else you'll need those scores!

The housing situation- the school doesn't help. You'll have to work hard on your own to get an apartment. They decided to build dorms, but it took 12 years to build our new school building. They did start, but I'll be surprised if they are ready by Aug 2009.
Good luck, if you have anymore questions feel free to PM me. I'd rather not go into a ton of details on the internet!
