How private are our applications?

I have a lot of personal information that I divulge on my primary and secondary applications. Are these kept secure? Are they only shown to members of the admissions?
Will medical students attending a particular school I send my application to have access to my application?

If they interview you, sure. Different schools give different information to their interviewers but any and all of it could be available to everyone who is interviewing you. Everything is confidential though. Your information will only be shared between admissions committee members and then only when needed.

No one is going to go walking around talking about your application, especially a student. You'll get in big trouble for it.

At the schools I interviewed that had student interviewers, they only gave the students the AMCAS descriptions of activities and nothing else. Some don't give anything. While this may vary, I doubt the student interviewers get your entire application. Many faculty interviewers do but I highly doubt they would share any confidential information.
