Well, I just finished my interview with my ALO and it wasn't bad at all. He chatted with me and my mom about my application status and then asked me questions one-on-one for 45 minutes. He had about 5 pages of questions that he said the academy provided, and I think it went really well. The questions were pretty predictable, things like:
Which important public figure do you admire most?
What is the honor code? Do you think 18 year olds can be expected to follow it?
Tell me a circumstance where you used the 3 pillars of the Academy (Integrity first, Service before self, excellence in all we do)
Tell me about a time you severely disagreed with an authority figure. What did you do to resolve it?
What is a typical school day like for you?
Tell me about a time you have experienced failure. How did you react?
My ALO said he spends about 4 hours writing each candidate evaluation. He also told me he has 11 applicants this year, much higher than normal. That's a lot of interviews to give and evaluations to write
