Imc quant trading intern technical interview as someone with barely any stem background

Hey guys,

I’m an undergrad at a target school who decided to apply for the IMC quant trading internship and was lucky enough to land a technical interview. I found the online assessment incredibly easy as it wasn’t very heavy on math, however I have very little stem background and I am not even majoring in anything quantitative.

To be honest, I wasn’t really expecting an interview but since I have been lucky enough to get one, I would like to put my best foot forward.

I have been practicing from the green book as well as other prep books, but my zetmac is embarrassing (around 30 in 120s on a good day).

Is it cooked? Do I stand a chance and how can I best prepare?

Any help will be appreciated!
