Admitted to Target for IB, now what?

Hi all, I've recently been admitted to Bocconi's MSc in Accounting & Corporate Finance coming from an extremely non-target Finance UG. For context, I'm currently interning at a small regional bank and have some regular ECs. Also one brief Industrial internship, but that was some time ago. I'm gunning for a decent boutique IB.

My question is: how should I use this summer before I go to Milan? What would be feasible to target for this summer in terms of internships?

I'm planning on doing this summer:

1) Focusing on technicals

2) Mastering Excel and PPT

3) Keep networking hard as hell this summer for the next one.

I'm pretty new to this so would really appreciate ANY insight, especially for the Italian market. Thanks
