What were the most difficult or unexpected interview questions asked?:
What my family would say about me. Which I now realize was another form of the tell me about yourself question. That was what I was unprepared for. I would say it was a pretty simple interview, I was just unprepared. Spring week interviews are usually more lenient than those for actual interviews. If you prepare for basic behavioural questions, you should be good. Another thing i was asked was how i would take advantage of the opportunity, which was some sort of variant of the why you? question.

How did you answer each of these questions (please be specific)?:
I ended up rambling about how my family would call me a hardworker and a fun person to be around. I also ended up saying I would be taking notes to show how I would use the opportunity. Those were terrible answers and I would advise against them. You want to go with stuff from 'your story' which you should prepare before the applications. Your story is essentially telling about you in ways relevant to the job, highlighting those key things and thats whats important with behavioural or fit questions.
