I applied in-person. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at US Marine Corps (Camp Pendleton, CA) in Feb 2012
Interview
It was a very intense meritorious board process. I stood in front of a panel of highly decorated warriors and endured intense scrutiny. They looked at past accomplishments and my continuing education as well as two letters of recommendation and my entire service record book. I demonstrated knowledge in leadership, small unit tactics, weapons systems and military history.

There is none. You just need to simply push yourself until you get to the end. The interview is your time in service. Your ability the pick up and keep rank.

Interview
No real interview process. Be a great Marine. Show your motivation and initiative. Show case your leadership abilities. Be great at PFT. It pays to network and be liked by your seniors.
There are Marines I served my whole five years with. I made it to Sergeant, and became an Infantry Squad Leader. They made it to Lance Corporal, and never placed in leadership position. Why? They failed the interview process...
