Applying as a Summer Analyst 2020- Need list of resources to learn

I'm completely new to finance, and I'm planning to apply for a summer analyst pos next summer. Please drop a list of the best IB resources for me to create a good knowledge base for interviews, applications, basic things that I should know. Any other advice appreciated!

 

Buy Rosenbaum and Pearl, read it 3 times cover to cover.

Definitely look into a subscription for the WSJ. I think they might have student deals, but you can get it free if your college has a subscription.

 

I'm a junior going through the process. I read through Rosenbaum and Pearl. It is way more detailed than anything you'll need for an interview and, unless you memorize the whole thing and genuinely understand it, it won't really prepare you for an interview. It also presumes an accounting background. The M&I 400 (google it, there are pdfs everywhere) has all of the questions you'd receive in most interviews. It won't teach you how to do a dcf in excel, but it will teach you how to walk your interviewer through one as efficiently as possible. Especially given the lack of accounting knowledge you probably have. PM me your email and I'll send you some notes I have.
