Thanks DrivinWest !
Off to the 4th short essay now. I have to work hard on that one. It would have been easier to write this one if I had visited the campus. But since I couldn't make the trip across the coast, I have had to rely on web-site/contacts/Info sessions to make my decision.
The long ones are still ahead .

R2 Haas people,
I met with Peter Johnson, director of Haas admissions at the Munich info session on the 12th. First and foremost, Peter impressed me as a very smart, very cool, very down-to-earth kinda guy. I liked him right off the bat.
He mentioned how his favorite question was the "who do you want to have dinner with" one. He specifically stated not to try and predict what the adcoms want to hear because you're likely to be 1) wrong 2) pandering to the adcoms will get you nowhere. He used Arun Sarin, Haas MBA '78 and CEO of Vodafone as an example of a bad choice.
My $0.02: Haas' has the BEST set of essay questions of any school out there. They give you ample opportunities to showcase yourself. You get to talk about all sorts of things, including, but not limited to, your MBA and career aspirations. Use at least some of the Section II essays to tell them who YOU are. IMHO, Section II, Essay I is the perfect opportunity to let them know about you besides that you're another a cog in a corporate wheel.
