What are your general comments?

Before the interview I was somewhat apprehensive because I thought that it would be more difficult than my prior interviews, but it turned out to be much less stressful and more enjoyable than the rest. The ethical questions that I had expected were easy and straight forward, which is something that made me a little timid going in. Overall it was a very enjoyable experience and was not stressful at all.
