What to do now - Sophmore at a non-target

Hi all,

I'm a sophomore at a non-target. After networking with some alumni at a BB, I applied to the bank's sophomore leaders program. I just received an email asking that I rank my top three choices (IB, corporate finance, Capital Markets etc.). The email said they will also be selecting candidates for phone interviews soon. Aside from ranking my choices, is there anything else I should do? Should I respond to the recruiter that emailed me and ask her for an informational interview? I plan on networking with professionals at the bank for each department I selected. I worked really hard for this and want to make the most of the opportunity. Thanks in advance for the advice!
