What are your general comments?

Everyone that has posted regarding the FSU interview was telling the truth. Your interviewers aren't there to stress you out and try to make you as comfortable as possible. Almost to the point where I think if I had screwed up answering a question, they wouldn't even mention it just to keep it laid back and comfortable. So it's very hard to judge how well I did in an interview when it was virtually impossible to do poorly.
