What are your general comments?

Normally you only are interviewed by one person, but my interviewer was training someone so I ended up having two. (The trainee didn't say much so it was like having only one interviewer.) They asked me EVERY question imaginable, from my activities in high school, to what I do for fun, to what I want to be doing 10 years from now. It was an incredibly thorough, yet relaxed and conversational interview. I really had a great time talking with them. I felt they got a very clear sense of who I am and what is important to me.
