Firm wants to meet with me in person

A buyside firm had me go through multiple rounds on interviews, and I thought all of them went well, but then I was notified that I would have to come in person to meet with them, even though all my previous interviews were virtual. No other candidate who has received an offer said they had to meet in person, and usually after the multiple rounds of interviews, they either give you an offer or don't. How should I approach this in-person interview?

How many in person interviews have you done before?

I've never done an in-person interview while I've been in college, but have practiced a few times with some of my mentors

Just be yourself. Relax. Actively listen. You'll get better at interviews with more interview experience.
