What are your general comments?

Overall, it was better than I expected but I still didn't feel all that confident after...I still have a feeling I got in Despite the interview rather than because of it....they give you a false sense of calmness by them being so nice and calm that it actually made me feel like I could relax and my guard went down probably a bit too much.
