Pulled some strings and got accepted into a top finance school despite grades. How can I prepare?

[REDACTED FOR PRIVACY CONCERNS]

I'm worried about the workload. If the school is considered challenging for kids scoring 2000+ on the SAT, just imagine what the place will do to me. Any advice as to how I can prepare this summer for the hell to come?
