Paul,
I got couple of interviews coming up and am curious about a few things for interview...
1. The why school xyz question - now i have the following planned but not sure if it is insufficient or too "dry" - curriculum - specifically towards my goals and unique things the school does or very noticeable differences, placement, some noticeable student culture. I dont want to sound way too academic but also dont want to sound i am there not for academic reasons....
2. The "what type of leader question" - i know there are many definitions of being a leader but which ones should one avoid labeling him/herself as to not sound arrogant/passive or negative?
thanks!

Email us at [email protected] and we can provide some tips as well as show you are interview prep offerings. Those are pretty nuanced questions that might be better served answered as part of a formal engagement.
The short answer though, as best I can, is that you want to tap into the DNA of a school and show that you "get" the place. Rattling off classes and programs shows academic intent and that you've done our due diligence, but it doesn't force the interviewer to write "this guy gets it!" on his paper, which is what you want.
As for leadership, the best advice I can give in a brief post like this is to read MIT's essays. They ask for such different kinds of leadership (leading from the front/action, thought leadership, etc.) and it helps you reframe the notion.
Hope this helps. I know we traded some posts a while back. You are a prime candidate for interview prep, so be sure to send us that email.
Best,
PL
