Internships, test scores, and more!

<p>A few questions:</p>

<p>I've completed all of my graduation requirements except for 1 credit, which means I have a lot of extra time my senior year. I'm still taking all AP core classes, but I'm going to have two extra hours that I can either use as independent study or internship. I've been considering getting an internship for 2 hours during the school day, which my school allows. Will this hurt me in the application process (look like I'm slacking off senior year or whatever) or is this ok?</p>

<p>Also, everyone on this board seems to have really stellar SAT's. I have an 800CR, 780W, but a 620M. How badly is that 620 going to drag me down? Is it possible to raise it to a 700, and how difficult would that be?</p>

<p>And one last thing -- does Yale offer 5 year programs where you can get your undergrad and master's degree?</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>
