Best Way to Prepare for BB SA

Starting a junior SA position with a BB this summer. I'm in a more technical group so think LevFin / M&A / Sponsors. I was wondering what's the best advice and ways to prepare for this. I know people always say what they give us in training will suffice for the internship but I come from a non-finance background so I was wondering if my lack of excel skills will negatively affect my chances of a return offer right now. Any advice or previous experiences would be appreciated. Thanks everyone
