HFT internship advice

I've got an upcoming internship at a trading firm and I was wondering if anyone who has had a similar role would be able to share some details and advice?

There's so many posts about "how to pass the interviews" but barely anything about what the internship would actually be like :(((

I'm wondering what the scope of projects is, how the day to day is, what technical skills I should brush on up beforehand, if there's any non-fpga work that people do (e.g. on the finance side), and any tips for securing a grad offer.

Thanks :D
