First round in 3 days with no technical prep…need advice ASAP

I have a first round in person campus interview for an elite boutique in Richmond. It’s in 3.5 days and I have little to know technical knowledge whatsoever…what should I be focusing from now until then? It’s 30 minutes and only 6 students were selected to interview.

you only need 3 days. day one do accounting and pracitce the 400 quesitons accounting. (probs 5 hours)
day 2 do valuation, do 400 questions
day 3, do m&a and just brush up on lbo
at the end of day 3, be strong on accounting and valuation and m&a, during the interview you can ask for guidance on the harder concepts, but you definitely need this baseline!

also make sure to have a deal in mind

 

Interviewed for the position as well, this made me feel better lol.
