Interviewing with MDs - How should you form your answers?

Hello - hope everyone is well.

Info on me, non-target recent grad, "decent" PWM internship, 3.3GPA, missed recruiting season due to family issues (which I can speak to). I've spent the summer mastering my technicals as well as preparing for interviewing.

Have decent connections at several MM banks through networking with alumni and my boss from my internship last year as well as an uncle in the industry - connections significant enough to get me to the door.

I have an interview in a couple weeks with several managing directors and wanted to know what would be most important to impress upon them. Specifically, they work in Health Care at a fairly respected MM bank.

Do I want to focus on how interested I am in the sector, in banking in general, in the company itself...? Any suggestions would be helpful. Thank you!
