What are your general comments?

Be prepared to answer ethics questions. Generally, the interviewers ask one, but I was asked two. And even though it is one interview, there are two interviewers in the room asking questions. The interviewers themselves are very nice, but the fact that there are two of them in the same room with you can be intimidating.
