Been a silent member of the forum for a while, and this is my first msg. Very hilarious, particularly Stanford, Tepper, and LBS...

I have thought of what off the wall questions I would ask if I were an interviewer. Really some original questions would determine business aptitude,awareness and personality a lot better than the standard stuff they ask now.

Stanford's question is amazing :)

This topic + Alex Chu's schools-like-cars associations = the most genuine and true school research? :)
