Morgan Stanley Sophomore Summer Investment Banking Analyst

Hi!

I'm a current sophomore studying Comp Sci and Econ at Berkeley and I recently got an interview for sophomore summer at Morgan Stanley for their investment banking division. I also did the freshman enhancement program and I wanted to know what the interview structure was like for IBD. Do they ask a lot of brainteasers? Or do they focus more on technicals? 

Just wondering what the best way to prepare would be! Any advice is appreciated!
