What are your general comments?
Stayed with a student host which was great. The day is well organized with presentations and lunch. I thought the interview was going to be crazy stressful with 3 interviewers. However, they were all very nice and interested in what I had to say. I think it all depends on who you get. If I got 3 hard asses, im not sure how I would've handled it. Like everyone says, with ethics questions, just stick to your guns and show that you have put some thought into the issues.
