On-Cycle Prep for Incoming Analyst at MM Bank

I am a current senior in college heading to a top MM after graduation. I fully intend on participating in the on-cycle PE process. I understand I'll get less looks compared to a top EB/BB bank, but my bank has had some traction recently with a few UMM funds (I know MF is off the table). As of now, my prep has focused on building LBOs from scratch (full three-statements/debt schedule) and adding complexities to my models (warrants and PIK interest for mezzanine debt, different scenarios, toggles for cash sweeps/amortization, ect). Not sure if this is relevant, but like others from my school going to EB/BBs, I did get an email from a well regarded HH asking to send them contact information. Given this, is it worth continuing to prep for the on-cycle process from my position despite the process being predominantly UMM/MF funds?
