Don't mean to rain on the parade, but unless you're in school or this internship consists of a specific set of training, such UNPAID internships in the US are illegal. A company trying to get out of paying at least minimum wage should be viewed with suspicion.

Congratulations!
You've assembled a very helpful question catalogue. It's nice and slimmed down enough to actually fit into one interview.
