Any advice? I've been to the mock interviews at school, but I am still quite nervous.
Any tips for impressing the board? What else should I keep in mind for the day of the interview?

AOE, Congrats! I just went through the application/interview process last year, and remember how exciting it was to get that first interview.
A website I found useful when preparing was
http://more.studentdoctor.net/schoollist.php?type=2. People who interviewed at a particular school post feedback and tips for future interviewees. It was a good way to see what kind of questions are typically asked, whether the interviews are one-on-one, two-on-one, open or closed, how intense, etc.
My personal advice is, as cliche as it sounds, is to relax and be yourself. Also, read up on current events in healthcare (ESPECIALLY now, since it is a hot-button topic), consider your stance on certain ethical dilemmas, and solidy within yourself your reasons for wanting to be a doctor. If I was asked any question more than once, it was "why do you want to be a doctor?"
GOOD LUCK, and let us know how it goes!
