What are your general comments?

" This was my 2nd interview and it made a huge difference having the first one under my belt, I was much more confident. There are 4 standardized questions that everyone answers and the interviewers can't respond to. Then there is an informal portion where you can ask them questions and you converse more casually. Both of my interviewers were very nice and it was not very stressful. I was a little surprised when there was a knock on the door signalling the end of the interview, it flew by. It was much nicer to have a morning interview because I was much more relaxed during the tour." Report Response
