"What's the job you would least want and why?"
The entire time I was thinking: ...please don't say your dad's a lawyer, please don't say your dad's a lawyer...

This is a really good story. The first question was a relative gimme.
"What do you think you can contribute to the X program." (I don't want to use names right now in case admissions is trolling. I know totally paranoid.)
Next question: "Okay, well how about the school, how will you contribute to the learning environment at X"
At that point I had already used up my contributions so I stared blankly thinking to myself, what the hell, is this a trick question. I just re-iterated what I had said in response to the first question. I was annoyed by it.
During the same interview I got the following questions?
"What will you do if you don't get accepted?"
I am unemployed so I stated my intent to obtain a job or internship in the field that I want to go into post-MBA.
Then she says "Since you have little experience in that sub-sector how will you convince an employer to hire you and set aside their doubts?"
Nailed that one too.
Then she says "Well, what if you can't get a job?"
Hmm let's see do you want me to tell you that I will sell my body for crack on the street??? What kind of question is that. I just stated that I would be persistant in my search efforts and re-evaluate my plans at that point.
Okay I am going to rant - I hated this interview. Also asked:
Three words your boss would use to describe you?
Three words your colleagues would use to describe you?
Three words your friends would use to describe you?
By the middle of this series I had exhausted a decent number of adjectives. I thought it was totally unprofessional and a complete joke!!!
