Advice for SA's in especially intense groups

Hi all, I'm going to be summering at a top group this summer (GS TMT/MS M&A/BX R&R etc.), and was just wondering if people had any advice as to how to cope with the hours. Also, are there things I should do to prepare before the summer (I have zero accounting/finance coursework - my school doesn't offer it)? Should I be prepared to work more than my counterparts in less intense groups? I realize this may be beating a dead horse, but every person I've talked to has said something along the lines of "good luck, you're going to be worked to death," and I'm getting pretty worried about being able to cope. Thanks in advance for all your help.

I don't have advice but I can offer you this perspective: worst case scenario you get paid buku amounts of money for 2.5 months of slaving away at a job you know you'll never want to do again
