Interview tip: Do your homework. Read up about the company. How are they doing financially? What products do they offer? Who’s their competition? What is their biggest concern right now?

If you can’t find answers to these questions, then they are good ones for the interview. It shows that you are interested not just in selling yourself, but in understanding what your employer needs and is thinking about.

And be prepared with your ‘elevator speech.’ That’s the 30-60 second speech you give when someone says, “Tell me about yourself.” It’s an opportunity to sell yourself and what you have to offer.

And by the way, I agree with the others. Do the internship! You can’t study productively for 8 hrs a day anyway. If you do 2 hrs of practice per day for a few weeks, that should be more than enough to prepare you for your SAT.
