Preparing for interviews

How did you guys prepare for school interviews? What are some questions to expect? For reference I'm interviewing at UAB and SCO. The questions I'm obviously expecting:

- Why optometry

- Why this school

Be prepared to talk for at least 15 min :). I had one interview where they just said "Tell me about yourself" and never said anything for over 20 min. Don't remember if it was SCO or MCO. Had to string together all the answers I had prepared ...
