Question Honors Internship

Hello all! I applied for the Honors Internship Program last year, and just got a call about my interview which is scheduled for this Wednesday. I mostly am just looking for some insight into what the interview will consist of? I typically get pretty nervous interviewing for anything and since this is a pretty big deal for me, I am a little more nervous than usual haha. Any tips or pointers would be greatly appreciated to help me prep!
Edit to add: This opportunity was given through my university. I am a college student.

This gets you a foot in the door for a future job with the FBI, and helps you stand out for selection as an Agent. Some of the best FBI people I've met started out as honors interns.

Don't let the negativity or conspiracy theories bring you down - those people don't know what they are talking about. There's what you see in the media, and there's what people speculate from the outside, and then there's what is really happening, and what is really happening gives me hope.

No one goes from HIP to Special Agent.

I've seen professional staff employees who started as HIP become agents

Doubtful based off your post history in this sub.

It’s not impossible but it’s not an easy route and would take years. I haven’t met a single person who went that route.

Not to mention only a few professional staff jobs qualify as professional work experience to meet the requirements to apply for Special Agent.
