Thanks for reading guys. Yeah - I interviewed with an alumni in the tri-state area. I also thought that the interviews at W were supposed to be a little more laid back. This process definitely opened my eyes to how much luck is also involved in the MBA pursuit. You can have the most stellar application that may be read by an adcom member who is having a bad day or you might get paired up with a disgruntled interviewer.
I definitely agree... every school has its set of jerks and you shouldn't generalize. I think the interviewing process is a two-way street. The school is evaluating the candidate and at the same time the candidate is evaluating the school. Of course, I can't make an accurate and valid assessment of what a school has to offer from a single 30-45 minute conversation, but I think it will still affect my perception - it's one of the experiences that I will think back to when I think about the overall school.
bostonsparky - LOL I can't believe you brought up Andy Bernard. The first thing that I did after the interview was watch the Cornell episode where Dwight dresses up as a Cornell alumni and tries to piss off Andy. hahaha

foodstamp, sorry to hear about your experience. hanks for sharing, we see another side of the process.
On the bright side you handled well that 'stressed interview'
. As others said, an interview is just one piece of your app. Or if luckily enough, 'though the interview after creating such a crappy interview still made a fine report for you. Keep the hope on.

In general, I think they ought not give the interview too much weight. I think it is so subjective. I knew from the minute I met one of my interviewers (not Wharton interviewer - he was great) that we wouldn't click. It's just one of those things.
