What are your general comments?

"My interview was short...much shorter than the other applicants which made me nervous. One of the interviewers was either non-responsive or frowning for most of the interview which made me extremely stressed. I was hoping it would have been more relaxed. I thought I did terrible, but I was accepted, so maybe I am a bad judge of my own performance. I would suggest this: if the interviewer seems very formal, answer very formally. Do not try to lighten the situation (which is a bad habit I have). " Report Response
