Will you have a BS by the end of the school year? How much school have you completed? If you have a BS/have multiple undergraduate school years under your belt that will only help you.
If you get at interview, which I'm thinking you will, definitely go on a few mock interview/look at the interview question bank on sdn that way you'll be plenty prepared for it.
