Pre Internship Help

So I am a sophomore and am about to begin my summer internship at a fairly large boutique firm~400 employees in the investment banking division. I'm a little nervous not having taken many finance courses yet that I don't really know how to do DCFs or any modeling like that and my excel knowledge is pretty limited. Do you think I should be cramming to learn some of this stuff or is it possible to just learn on the go? Any tips on what is the most important or other things to study/do before starting would be much appreciated. Thanks!
