make sure you wear comfortable shoes...the tour is pretty long.

What are your general comments?

Overall it was a good interview...not stressful at all, although at times I felt like the interviewer was antagonizing me, maybe just to see my reaction. He actually ended up liking me and presented a positive review to the committee which is probably why I got in.
