What are your general comments?

"Overall it was a good experience. The interview was very laid back, more like a conversation. However, it was a bit difficult because the interviewer hadn't read my file (he got a copy of my personal statement when I got there, but said he would read it later) so I felt like I had so much to talk about and frantically tried to get everything in. I wish I had been more ready for that type of interview. I would recommend sitting down and coming up with the main points that you definitely want to cover in the interview and make sure you get those in. None of the questions were difficult though and the interviewer was great. " Report Response
