What are your general comments?

"Nothing like I expected. I was not asked one science question. He began with "I haven't read anything about you yet, so tell me about yourself", at which point I just broke into a monolouge about myself, and that basically seemed to satisfy him. He asked some other general questions (see below), but I think I seemed so excited and energetic that he got the idea of who I was. (Keep that in mind folks, be your own cheerleader!!). It really seemed as if he was more interested in seeing if I was nice person... I am, ;) In some ways, this was the worst case scenario for me -- english wasn't his first language, and he clearly just wanted me to talk. Be prepared for that possibility." Report Response
