I normally dont post here, but this caught my eye. I am an admissions interviewer for my school and have also recruited for my pre-MBA employer. Many students(and I have done this on occasion) deliberately do this in order to
Provide you both good and bad perspectives about the program/company
See if you have the poise to handle it, and,
Check if you have done the homework about the school for yourself
So, dont be hasty in complaining to the ad-com. Finally, posting this on an internet forum is not a great idea. It is very easy to look up IP addresses. You said you had a good interview. Dont risk it.

I had a recent interview with a 2nd-year student, where throughout the interview, he was dissing the school and b-school in general. I don't want to go into too much detail, but how the heck do you handle something like that? It's the 1st time I've ever encountered this. I don't expect all interviewers to be drinking the cool-aid, but this was a little off the charts. This was an on-campus interview in the admissions office, by the way.
Thanks very much for the info and perspective. Good to know this is at least a somewhat standard practice; applicants can prep better with that in mind.
However, what should he/she have to fear from an IP address lookup? The OP's done nothing but approach this situation professionally both here and, it seems, in the interview room.
