How fucked am I for full time?

Interned at a boutique not EB and now I am about to start full time at an EB. Didn't really touch models during my summer internship and I do not come from a finance background. I have been vacationing up until now and have not started prepping for full time - how fucked am I? I have passed my SIE and Series 63 but have not prepped for work. Any recommendations on what to do? Or are expectations that low for first years?
