I really want to come up with a legit answer to the why firm x question that stands out and doesn't set off any BS alarms. Does anyone have any tips?

I would imagine the following answers (or mix of answers) would work: 1) Good deal flow / biggest deal exposure - provide great learning experience 2) You like the firm culture from speaking with people... 3) Everyone you've met and spoken with seems to enjoy working there and being proud of their firm 4) Meritocracy 5) Specific industry/product group you are interested and its expertise
I think things to stay away from are: prestige, money, "bulge bracket", exit opps, etc.
But I know firms love to ask this question, especially Goldman - "Why Goldman?" so if anyone has a good answer for that, please share.
I would play up the team at GS; team culture and working with individuals of similarly high caliber, etc.
GS also is very big on how "humble" they are.. I'd love to hear more comments about "why GS"
