oh snap. i actually just interviewed to a school a few weeks ago so i prepared for some usual questions that might be applicable to you as well.
the biggest one is why you want to go to their college, specifically. why you'd choose theirs instead of others. this is where you flatter them and say things you know that they want to hear, but may not necessarily be true. make sure to know a little statistics on the college so you can recite them in a way that makes you seem you've done a lot of research into the college.
another common thing is that they'll ask about you as a person. your strengths, your weaknesses. don't say something like "i'm too nice" as a weakness if you want to be taken seriously. find a real weakness, and find a way to spin what you say into something positive, like "i haven't joined a lot of leadership programs in high school, and that's something i'd like to improve on in college." colleges are really keen on people who express interest in joining clubs and organizations.
make sure you have a reason for going to college, even if it's vague. try to figure something out rather than "i went to high school and this is the next thing in line." pretend you have a purpose.
other than that it's mostly stuff you have to be honest about (but not too honest, if you know what i mean). let them get to know you, bring up stuff that makes you seem like an interesting student, indicate to them that you are a serious student but a friendly person, and most of all, smile and make good eye contact, lol. they really eat that up.
