Help. I'm panicking.

I'm a junior at a public university, majoring in Management Information Systems. Little to no programming background. I applied for a programming internship with a big 4 consulting firm (it's a target school).

I've gone through 2 interviews and 1 reception, as well as an office tour and was extended an offer.

Now, I have very little programming experience. I just finished an introductory java course with a B+ and I feel like I didn't learn much at all.

I didn't expect to actually get the internship. Programming is not my passion, management is.

I feel like I got the internship solely because I look good in a suit and can carry conversation. I've done nor applied for any internships. I should be happy but I'm scared that I'll fail.

Tips, guidance, advice, suggestions, insight, anything?

tl;dr I Trump'd myself into a position.

If its like any other job you should be fine, but it may different for programming.

Virtually everything you learn in college is useless in the real trade.

You are definitely an idiot. Programmer here, you will be fired very soon for insufficient skills when they give you a task.

No but seriously, you will not make it very far into this internship without a programming background.

>tldr, no you fucked up

Big 4 are no bullshit, once they see a project is lagging behind they begin the pressure and beheadings. You are fucked OP.

Programming is something you sharpen all the time, if there's no interest you have nothing.

Somewhat, you dont have to like programming to be a programmer. But you definitely need interest and experience.
