How did you prepare for the interview?

Read their website and my application.

What impressed you positively?

It was well organized, and the staff was very friendly.

What impressed you negatively?

It's good that they go so in depth about the school, but man it's a long day (8-4).

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That when people say it's relaxed and easy, they aren't lying lol

What are your general comments?

I thought it went pretty well. My essays made it pretty obvious why I want to be in the military, so I didn't field a lot of questions about that. The first interviewer (Army Lt. Col.) and I spoke about sports a lot, which he said was so I couldn't give him practiced answers. I thought that was pretty interesting.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Electronic secondary applications would be nice.
