Here's the best piece of advice I ever got with respect to recruiting: In recruiting, most people want to stand out when the secret is not standing out. As someone with no prior IB experience, there is no way you will impress anyone with experience - they simply know more than you. At the end of the day, people want to work with people they like. So, have well thought out questions that you can't Google to find the answer to, be able to carry a conversation, and don't be weird. You'll be fine.
