Was your interviewer the MBA2 that turned down HBS for Ross, or was that someone else? If it was your interviewer, I could see why. If not, I could imagine your interviewer was just curious. I'm sure not all of them have the same understanding of what type of questions will freak out applicants, haha. They're not all superpolished interviewers. As an example, I sent a TY note to my MBA2, and he responded by saying "if you, for whatever reason, don't get accepted, I'd encourage you to re-apply." I think it was supposed to be uplifting as in, "you're great for Ross, don't let this year's results dissuade you!" But it just made me worry that the for whatever reason part was a lukewarm review from him! Anyway, I'm sure your MBA2 didn't mean anything by the comment.
