Private Equity Analyst Programs

Hey Everyone,

I'm a student at a decent target school -(UVA,Mich,etc.) I major in stats and don't know anything about finance stuff. I recently applied to pe analyst programs out of interest -  primarily lower mid market, and got interviews somehow. Also, I've been scouring this forum and picked up a few things. What do i do moving forward considering i don't know shit. I've gotten ge/pe firms and plan on applying to firms like LLR, but don't know anything about the recruiting process or networking or anything else. What do I do, i have interviews scheduled 1-3 weeks from now. 

thanks!!
