I was actually wondering if any devious 2nd year students actually act casual on purpose to see what will happen when the applicant lets his/her guard down.
Guess we have to just assume that doesn't happen. So far 2nd years have seemed very pleasant (I haven't interviewed with any yet, though).
Me, I like to play "bad cop" during interviews -- mostly because it's not my natural persona at all.
Ha! That probably is a bit my style. Though I would probably relax them then throw loads of curveballs for s&g, but also to see how they cope. That is more a work setting though - it is hard to throw curveballs in an interview for an MBA I would think, save for making someone prove they are an arse.
Noted! If I get an interview invite I'll be ready for ya. Will you be ready for me? (Hint: I am an arse!)

She obviously wasn't going to get the job anyway, hence the interviewer decided to try his luck*.
It's possible! -- but he was one of four people to interview me that day, in quick succession, so he wouldn't have been able to make that decision unilaterally.
I think one of the problems with making a pass at a job / school candidate is that acquiescence could be construed as a condition for acceptance. So maybe I shouldn't have gotten that job. Or maybe I didn't get it because I didn't go out with him. (Or maybe they'd already figured out that I didn't want to (a) commute three hours from Brooklyn; or ::shudder:: (b) move to Jersey.)
I like your take, though.
