Bear Sterns IBD interview

Man, I feel like I am making half the posts in this forum... sorry. I just was called in for an interview at Bear Stearns for IBD next week. 4, half-hour interviews. Anyone have any experiences with Bear this year or in the past? What types of questions should I expect fit or technical? I am from a non-target and am a finance major with a 3.6 GPA.

Do a search - there was just a thread about BS interviews. It included good answers for "why Bear Stearns?".
