Sophomore PE interview advice

Hi everyone,

After my corporate development internship got canceled, I started applying to a bunch of small PE boutiques in my area and on my school's handshake. One of the associates reached back and set an interview for this Friday. I'm not entirely sure how to prepare for this. I've seen that generally, most PE interviews are pretty behavioral focused but I was wondering if there is anything I should know during this two day period.

Thanks!
