How to turn a SA IB position to a full-time offer? (BB)

Basically ^, I'm going to be an IB summer analyst at one of the bulge bracket banks and I'm really excited. Are there any classes I should take this semester (as a junior), or anything to do to prepare, or anything to aim to do during the internship to turn it into a full time offer? Should I keep in touch with the people who interviewed me, and to what extent?

One of the MD's set up a call between me and some former analysts who all said it was important to ask questions, but besides that is there anything glaringly obvious that I should focus on? Also, my school has classes like corporate finance, M&A, valuation, and "investments" which I was going to take senior year since it would be hard to fit into my schedule now, but I would fit it in if somebody said it would be pertinent to do well. I appreciate any tips!
