Totally depends on the program. Some will give you a locker, many will just have you leave your things in a conference room. Are there any specific programs you were curious about? I might be able to remember from when I was on the interview trail.

Vanderbilt is one of the programs that mentioned in their letter that we may be expected to change into scrubs. I was just wondering, why can't we just wear those yellow bunny jump suits to step briefly into the OR area?
 
At Yale ( we just started interviews this week), they will have you put "bunny suits" over your interview suits so you can at least see the OR suites. You'll leave your belongings secured in the library where you interview.
