Trying to prepare for upcoming soph year

Looking to eventually land a seat doing Equity research. Going to try and get into the IMW at Kelley, they recommended doing the SIE this summer and just polishing technicals / interview answers. Any recommendations of what would strongly help me this summer and upcoming recruiting cycle. I’m just below a 3.9, not the best extracurriculars and a nepo internship but I do actually work a lot and do useful work (startup). I have some very good connections; however, I’m absolutely not trying to use them to get the job, only my foot in the door. Thanks for the advice
