Hey guys, I have read that most interviewers ask you if you have any questions for them at the end of the interview. I am really not sure of what to ask that I couldn't find on their web-site. Any pointers would be great!
Thanks!
 
Anything you want to know about the school, area that school is in, curriculum, rotation sites, faculty, facilities, and so on.
 
My advice is to ask something that shows that A) You're interested in attending their school and B) You've done your homework. They tend not to like questions asking about demographics, board passing rates, etc that either seem superficial or could be figured out if you spent 2 seconds looking it up.
Try something like, "I've read that your school has a good reputation for ___, or has a program for ____... what opportunities are there for me to get more involved in that?" That shows that you've cared enough to research the school before showing up and you want to attend enough that you're thinking ahead to how you can involve yourself in their school.
 
on AMCAS website there is a page of questions one could possibly ask the interviewer. If you google (some sort of way...possibly: questions to ask at medical school interview) it may come up with some hits. I did this and found it very helpful. If I can find the link again I will post it.
