However, if it is a firm with a solid reputation, I'd go for it because at least you'll get some work experience. It would be better if you could postpone that internship to the summer. I'd also speak with the team to see what they have in mind for you It probably will be quite a bit of grunt work that seniors don’t have time for.

I'm having a phone interview with 3 bankers next week, and I've been invited because of a good contact I have in the company. But as stupid as I am I completely forgot to ask my friend what my work actually would be if I got this internship. Earlier on, he said to me that I shouldn't expect much technicals in the interview because this isn't expected from an undergrad student in his internship either. So I thought to myself: if I'm not getting much technicals, I must expect that I won't doing "cool" work either. And for this internship I would have to take a semester free from uni, because it would be an off-cycle internship. I don't want to waste one full semester for solely admin work. What do you think will a student who just will have finished his 2nd semester do when he gets this internship? I hope you've understood my question. Thanks!

So take a class and put "Proficient" and save yourself the time/money. I’m assuming you’re joking, but to spell it out in case you’re not: certifications like that don’t mean crap.
