Hi all, I recently received a phone interview invite for a top EB (something like Lazard, Evercore). Although the time has not been set yet, it's likely to be in 2-3 days. The only problem is I don't know any technicals beyond the balance sheets. I'm a biomedical engineering major with good stats and the role is for the healthcare division, which is why I imagine I got the interview at all. How should I cram for the next couple of days to have the best chance?

400 questions M&I is a good place to start... google and a PDF will come up. Know DCF, 3 statements, comparables/valuation methods, and basic accounting cold. Know your story cold.
Phone interviews are not usually crazy technical especially for a non-finance major, but if it makes you feel more comfortable you can have some technicals/answers printed out or visible on your computer during the interview.
