Should I disclose my plans to go to grad school in PE analyst internship interview?

The firm I'm interviewing with apparently asks this in all interviews (at least that's what people on Glassdoor say). If I tell them, I'm afraid I might not get an offer if they intend to use this internship to get a new full-time analyst on the team.
