Interview for Vangaurd/Fidelity/T. Rowe Price type Asset Management firm

Like the title says, I've got an internship interview at a huge Asset Management firm doing equity research. I did not think I had the grades or experience to secure such an internship, but I wrote a very strong cover letter and networked a little bit. I was wondering if anyone has any advice on what to expect in that interview? I was thinking about putting together as many stock pitches as I could but I'm sure theres going to be some other information expected of me.

present a pair trade, so come up with one long idea and one short idea. create a ppt presentation to go along with your pitch (bring printouts for your interviewers). try to keep the trade tightly paired (long ford, short tesla, long aapl, short Dell, etc.) be able to defend your ideas and no matter what you do, do not second guess yourself when they pick at your arguments. this will be more about them trying to understand your thought process vs. how well you can model/accounting skills b/c that can easily be taught to a monkey. on my phone so forgive the lack of proper sentence structure or punctuation.
