Not to be judgemental, but perhaps you should ask yourself whether you'll be happy with (and able to perform the duties of) a job that you crammed for to pass the interview loop. Sounds like you may end up getting in over your head.

That being said, internalizing the following is a good place to start:

  basic tree (or more generally graph) algorithms and structures

  sort algorithms

  recursion

  principles of OOP

  probability

  memory manipulation

  stack/heap principles

There's a bunch more, but that sort of stuff comes up often in interviews. The main point, however, is that you need to internalize it. Just reading about it, you won't be able to really apply it in a high pressure situation like an interview loop.

Good luck!

That's a fair criticism indeed. I'm counting on being as honest with them, saying that I don't have a really strong background but I can grok the principles very easily. I'm fortunate enough to be able to understand this stuff but unfortunate in that I chose the wrong major :)
