1st round interview IB SA NYC-based 2014

I would like to know if anyone could give me some advice on what to expect on my 1st round of interviews at an IB. I am currently on my penultimate year at a target european university with basic 1-month work experience at a financial brokerage in a South American country. This would be my first serious work-related interview and I am aware this is a difficult question to answer given the arbitrariness of interviews. I understand technical questions can be asked on basic accounting principals as well as valuation models such as LBO and DCF analysis. I have lived in different countries throughout my life and am expecting the interviewers (an Associate and a VP) to ask me something about how my multicultural awareness has helped me choose my career choice etc... Is this a really far fetched assumption?

Many thanks

 

why IBD? - expect. how your multicultural awareness has helped you choose your career choice - don't expect.
