I suggest contacting the admissions director from some of these school and ask. It really depends on the school. I used to teach at an elite private school. They did not require language beforehand. As for books, I would suggest the classics. You may not really need them until you start, but it could help you to have that knowledge ahead of time.
Let the admissions director know how serious you are and they will tell you specifically which books.
