Interview Advice - Freshman and got first interview with a boutique IMD shop

I'm a Freshman and I've got my first interview with a boutique IMD shop coming up next week for a SA position. I'd like some advice as to what sort of technicals (if any) I could possibly expect to have coming my way.

I've interned at an IMD firm over the past semester, although this firm I'm interviewing with is considerably smaller ($4B AUM vs $200M AUM). Though the previous firm never asked me technicals in my interview process because they knew I was a freshman and wouldn't know anything (I interviewed 1st sem). However, this firm I'm now interviewing with knows I have previous experience, as well as a couple finance classes under my belt/I mentioned a lot of outside finance/investment readings.

Both firms are local in my city, and the VP I'm interviewing with asked me right off the bat in our initial emails if I was related to a CIO of another firm based on my last name (and he was right, my Dad works in the industry), so I'm hoping that works in my favor some how and makes things a little easier in the process.

There's a lot on this site on the IBD interviewing process, but I haven't read much on the AM side.

Any advice is appreciated.
