Python is the go-to language for data science. Proficiency in Python libraries like NumPy, Pandas, Matplotlib, and Scikit-learn is essential. If you're familiar with other languages like R or Java, that's a plus, but focus on mastering Python for data science.

Brush up on core statistical concepts like hypothesis testing, regression analysis, and probability. Learn the fundamentals of machine learning algorithms like linear regression, decision trees, random forests, and classification methods.
