Where did the interview take place?
At the school
How did you prepare for the interview?
SDN, re-reading my essays, and staying with a student host (DO THIS).
What impressed you positively?
Camaraderie, laid-back atmosphere, the community where the school is located, positive treatment of interviewees, lunch.
What impressed you negatively?
Nothing really. If you realize what you're getting into as far as the military commitment is concerned, I wouldn't expect to have much negative feelings from this interview. If you didn't realize, you'll be well aware that they expect you to be dedicated to the service, etc.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Arrive earlier the night before, too much can go wrong.
What are your general comments?
My first interview, but I really left with a good feeling from it. I absolutely recommend a student host to get the inside scoop ahead of time, to take you to campus and show you where to go, and put your mind at ease about the interview. Also, I arrived at 7:15am (check-in is between 7:30-8:15) because my host had to be at school early, and about half the interviewees were already there. Odd. The interviewers have no idea if you showed up on time though, so I don't see the big deal there. Be prepared to see several ROTC and current active-duty military also interviewing with you. Also, many people were already married. It's a very diverse set of individuals interviewing at this school.
