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.

 

Technicals wise I have no idea. However this sounds like EVR Richmond office. Maybe look into the logistics space while you also do technical prep so you come off well prepared in that aspect at least.
