Jane Street Internship Advice

I'm a junior who's going to be a trading intern at Jane Street this summer, and I'm really intent on doing well and getting a return offer. I'd really appreciate any advice on what I can do before the summer to best prepare myself and also info on what the evaluation criteria are for the internship itself. To be clear, I'm particularly interested in hearing from people with experience/ knowledge of JS specifically, but of course, am grateful for anyone's informed input. 

In case it's relevant, I study math at a target and had a previous trading internship at another prop firm (Optiver/Akuna/IMC/SIG). Also, my current plan is to brush up on some python data-handling libraries and maybe learn some excel. Thanks for any help!
