Roadmap to IB

Everyone knows the easiest way into IB is through maintaining a high gpa (3.5+) at a target, business clubs, and networking with alumni but what about actually learning the material? If you study a non finance major at an Ivy, how do you accumulate the knowledge to not be a complete buffoon during your interviews and internships? What does a kid who studies English at Harvard do on their own to learn finance to compete with Wharton finance majors?
