PRIVATE EQUITY INTERNSHIP ADVICE

Hi everyone, I applied for an unpaid research internship for a MM PE fund and was invited to submit an industry analysis, which I did. I just received an email that they are impressed with my work and would like to have an 30 min interview with me in 2 days. This will potentially be my first internship and I really want to obtain this internship. Any advice will truly be appreciated. Thank you everyone!

What should I be prepping right now? What questions should I expect? What do I review?
