FT 2025 Advice?

2025 grad from a non-target here. Just bombed a SD for my dream role (sucks, but we will come back). Anyway, I have a first round interview for TD Securities (SF Tech IB). When researching the firm, I saw that TD has many areas that they cover in IB (DCM, ECM, M&A, LevFin) and the email/application does not specify which I am applying under (official title is "2025 Full-Time Analyst Program with the Technology team").

I am wondering if anyone else has more insight into the interview process/what to expect from a first round? I imagine it will mostly be behavioral, just worried on if I should be focusing on anything in particular (for context, I have internship experience in M&A; not sure if that will be relevant but maybe it might be a focus?)
