I almost Have My Foot In The Door.

About two weeks ago I cold emailed boutique IB firms in Houston and I received one response from an MD and he said that if  I wanted a chance to Intern at their firm next summer that I need to basically devour WSO content to get up to speed for a shadow/ working interview in about a 2 months. Where do I start? I have already started to tailor my resume to the template provided on the website and I am about to buy the interview course, but what else should I do. Any help anyone is willing to give is helpful! Thank you.
