What are your general comments?

I had two interviewers and they did the whole good cop/bad cop kinda thing. The bad cop asked me whether or not people should sell their kidneys and why. She kept on arguing with me on this point and tried to get me to change my opinion for 20 minutes! I stood my ground (as should you) but it was a little stressful. She was very unemotional and monotonous and I had to get used to that real quickly. Overall I think i did alright
