Post your most interesting/weird/funny interview day experiences..
At one of my interviews the student panel had just gotten done with a rather brutal exam and asked if we wouldn't mind doing the panel at a local bar. Needless to say I got trashed on my interview, with said students at like 4 in the afternoon.
And no, I decided not to go there lol
Lol can't say that I have any interesting interview stories but I am interested to see others' experiences.

At one school, part 1 was a written essay and part 2 was the individual interview. After the essay, I was on the elevator with another candidate to head up to the interview part, so to break the uncomfortable silence, I asked the other person what she thought of the essay. She admitted that she found out what the topic was several days ahead of time. She was currently an undergrad at the school, so I suppose she knew some people. So, I was pretty disheartened knowing that I had the 30 minutes to formulate my thoughts and write my essay while others in the room had days to get their thoughts together.
Ah, that's life. Most schools don't put much emphasis on the essay anyway. They want to see if you're at least somewhat capable of formulating complete sentences and thoughts in a short of amount of time.
