I met with a CDR who is the SEAL component of a CT department in the State Dept. (all made up of SOF guys from the different branches) before my interview last week. He basically told me that the interview will make or break your package. If they decide they want you after the interview, everything else becomes just details.
I've heard of guys in the top 10 and guys from the bottom half of the class getting selected. The fact is, the selection process is considerably more involved than say, going up for Pilot. In that case, all you can really do is have a good relationship with your CO or SEL as they represent you to the board. For SpecWar, you have the PST, a personal essay, a resume, peer rankings are done among the candidates, and finally the interview. While they may ask you why your OOM is so low/high, it really plays a very small part in the overall selection process.
For the sake of confidentiality should you eventually decide to try for SEALs, I won't say what was asked during the interview, but I'll tell you it was definitely not what I expected. That said, I came out of it with a good feeling and will keep y'all updated when service selection rolls around (Nov. 18 I think).
