What are your general comments?

I interviewed with a delightful basic science faculty member. The interview was very conversational, he didn't ask many questions, he was more interested in getting a general feel for each of us. As I and another student were the last two to be interviewed and because it was getting late (~4:30pm) he offered to interview the both of us simultaneously. We both agreed and I don't regret the decision. This gentleman was very spiritual, so part of our interview included a discussion of medicine and the bible as you'll see in some of the questions stated below.
