What are your general comments?

Believe all the comments posted. There are really know reasons to be nervous. The staff is incredible and the interviewers are extremely nice. Even though I read all the information on this web page I was still really nervous. I struggled through the first couple minutes of my first interview because of nerves but was able to recover and still have a nice conversation interview with the interviewer. My advice, stay calm and try to stay as calm as possible.
