HELP!! First "major" interview at MM

I'm going to be a freshman next year but managed to get an interview at a small boutique bank. I have an interview in a couple of days and need your help. I have no finance experience. What questions would they ask me. What are the fit questions like?

Here are a few I've encountered:

Describe a challenge you faced and how you overcame it? Tell us about one of your worst habit or quality? What came first the chicken or the egg? Explain your reasoning. Single people work more. Are you single? How do you tackle stress and define stress? What will your first thought be when you had learned that you won a lottery? What if I transformed you into a gold fish? Is Elvis really dead? How many times have you been naked in public? Elaborate.

Q: Why don't you have a 4.0 A: Why don't you work at Goldman Sachs?

 

Non quas suscipit sint nostrum autem sequi nihil. Dolorem alias rerum magni iure. Odio eos sunt doloremque et molestiae. Quasi fuga et enim pariatur voluptatem et doloremque ea.

Distinctio molestiae molestiae enim quas et quaerat repellat. Et omnis porro saepe et. Voluptatem voluptatum placeat voluptatibus dolor sunt aut.
