KPMG Discover and PWC Elevate Program Interview Tips?

Received interviews from KPMG and PwC Summer Leadership Externships. The interviews last one hour long and they said it was mainly a behavioral interview. What questions should I expect, and what tips would you give for advice? Thanks!

Be ready to answer "Why PwC/KPMG?" Have something that is specific to that firm, and not to the Big 4. Be sure your enthusiasm comes through in the interview. Be ready to have succinct examples of your campus leadership experience. Know what the program actually entails. You should be ready to talk through anything that is listed on that program's website.

I'd also suggest you talk to a few classmates who participated in the program if there are any at your school and reference them during your discussion. It will show you did your homework.
