Advice for MSF -> IB

Hey y’all,
Just graduated from a t- 20 undergrad program, majored in Business Analytics (3.2 GPA, thanks to some unforeseen family and health stuff), regardless did well in extracurriculars, volunteer, leadership roles. Fast forward, the tech offer I got was rescinded due to the shitty economy and right after graduation this past summer, so recruiting was basically done for most roles. I'm pivoting to IB after connecting with folks in the industry. Got accepted to a T-30 b-school in the Northeast with deep NYC ties, starting in July. It is a 10 month program but there are options for an internship summer, which I am debating due to cost. However, I'm focused on prepping the best I can before diving in. I would appreciate any insights y'all have, especially people who had completed an MSF coming from a non finance background.
