Incoming MM SA- What do I need to know?

I've seen several forums about this... but I am looking for more concrete answers.

What do I need to know before starting as a MM SA intern? (maybe current SA's chime in?)

I go to a liberal arts school and have little to no background in modeling/taking many finance courses.

Ex. Should I be able to fully construct a DCF? 3-Statement Model? 

I literally couldn't do either of these things right now so I'm looking for honest advice. Thanks!

 

Learn as much as you can about modelling and finance of course but im at the end of my internship program and it’s mostly powerpoint. You obviously have to be good at excel because there are requests for you there as well but id say 80-90% of the time is powerpoint
