Completely Unprepared For Interview, Help...

Hi Everyone!

I have an interview for a bank in a couple of weeks, and I am completely, utterly, totally unprepared. I'm an underclassman who applied for an internship for the heck of it, not thinking I would get it. It is a pretty big bank and I'm kind of scared. Does anyone have tips? How technical do you think it will be? I do not know a lot about financial valuation, very limited amount of knowledge. Thanks!

One of my friends had an interview similar to what you will have. Some technical questions can range from which is cheaper, debt or equity? Others might be if you were CEO for the day what would you change about a company? More specifically they might ask the cheapest way for you to raise $10 million. A very common and good question to understand is how are each of the financial statements related. Where do each correlate and how do they affect each other? Hope this helps.
