Interview Experience w/ JP Morgan Freshman/Sophomore

So I noticed that when I was looking to prepare for my interview, there was nothing written on here that actually could help me. Not many people wrote about how their interviews went, so I figured I'd help the next round of people.

I am a freshman at a target, and today I had a first round interview with JP Morgan S&T for the Freshman/Sophomore internship. It was entirely behavioral, but I didn't have much on my resume to signal that I would be prepared for hard technicals anyway. I was expecting some market questions but there were none.

The questions I got were:

Walk me through your resume/tell me about yourself.

Why JP Morgan? Why S&T?

Why go into trading if it's a dying industry? (My interviewer was OCR alumni, JP Morgan Investor Services, it was a weird question...)

What can you tell me that isn't on your resume?

Why did you choose (insert school, insert major)?

What can you offer JP Morgan? What do you know about JP Morgan?

And that's it. My interview was about 45 mins, because my interviewer and I had a lot in common and went off on random tangents. It was overall a very laid-back interview. She also seemed like she was trying to convince me to do Investor Services instead of trading, not sure why.

The RE PE interview I had two hours ago, however, was impossible.
