What are your general comments?
This was my first interview, and it was really nice. It was their first day of the year for interviews, so everything was a little behind schedule as they were getting into the swing of things. Everybody seemed very nice and accomodating. I wish I would have known how much walking there'd be, because my feet are killing me now. :( They said they'd let us know next week if we're in or not, so that's pretty cool. Free lunch, by the way!
