I have a phone interview for a summer analyst position with a PE firm (think of BX/KKR/Apollo) for Real Estate, does anyone have any tips on how to prepare for the interview? I'm a sophomore from a non-target.

Good luck. How were you able to get the interview? You should look into recent investments and have an idea of the fund’s investment mandate.
Thank you! I'll make sure to do so. I'm part of SEO so I had a phone screen with them first and then I was given the interview.
what's SEO?
Think it's a diversity program.
