And good luck
This is good.

Be prepared. Do some research on the company. Google is your friend. Understand what they do. See if your experience fits. Make sure YOU are a fit for the company.

At GE, for interns, they are not that concerned about technical accomplishments. Just GPA, general background and whether you'll fit in. Less than 50% of the interns we had were worth anything.

We had one guy that was (personality wise) just like Tweek from South Park. Another's name was Dung Lam and was one of the stupidest people I ever knew in an electrical engineering school. He deleted the "Windows" sub-dir because he needed more space on his computer and "wasn't using Windows".

All in all, talk to them about the company and ask THEM questions and let THEM talk as much as possible. This is a classic interview technique.

Be prepared with two answers to the question: "What is your greatest weakness?"
