INTERNSHIP Interview

I have searched and read most of the articles throughout WSO, Gottamentor, M&I , etc. about IB interviews but wanted to get any internship specific tips for an interview tommorow.

From what I am reading up it is an M&A heavy company and the recruiter emailed me the following.

Bring copies of your resume just in case and be prepared to talk about your experience and why you want to do M&A. I'd also look at our website to get an idea of who we are and what we do

Are there any other questions besides the following I should prepare for?

Tell me about yourself? Why do you want to be in Ibanking / M&A? Weaknesses/Strengths question.

I was told I was meeting with 2 associates and to plan to be there for an hour.

Associate interviews can be the hardest. Speaking in generalities of course, but they are more likely to think they walk on water and those who wish to work with them should be masters of all things finance. They are more likely to ask nitty gritty technical questions about how you do certain types of analysis, how you define specific terms, how high profile transactions were structured, etc. You should prepare some good questions for them as well.
