Went through it last year and the biggest piece of advice I can offer you is that you should not only know your technicals cold, but should be able to apply them. Greenhill interviewers tend to ask very non-standard technical questions that force you to apply your knowledge of accounting, corporate finance, valuation, etc. Having said that, they won't expect you to know anything beyond what most interview guides contain; they just want to see how dynamic your mind is from a practical standpoint.
Knowing your answers to fit questions is standard for any interview, but especially so with boutiques, and even more so with Greenhill specifically. It's a tight knit culture, and you must convince them that you will be able to fit in there, because, obviously, people who don't tend to stick out like a sore thumb at these places.
Oh - questions about the process and current events. My school is a non-target for them but I happened to have several alumni in high places. Process consisted of a phone interview with an analyst, pre-superday office visit where I sat down with higher ranking people, and then a normal superday shortly after (all happened within the span of a week).
For current events, just know what's going on. You won't get asked questions about the news, because GHL interviewers aren't that lazy (at least from my experience), but if it gets brought up in the course of conversation and you don't know what the person across the table is talking about it becomes harder to continue the flow of the conversation.
A lot of it is application like other people have said. Greenhill guys asked me stuff like 'oh would the company you worked on last summer be a strong LBO candidate and why' or 'what kind of synergies would you think are possible' for a deal that I mentioned that I was following. It's concepts personalized to your resume so you have to know your shit cold.
