Please do what is right.

Honest method:

Explain to your "dream" company your situation. Be clear and honest and try to communicate this not only to your employment rep in HR but also your hiring manager. Make sure the hiring manager knows exactly what is going on. It will be his/her final call on the matter. If they refuse to expedite thier decision making process, then go with your backup internship. Don't gamble on your top choice.


Dishonest and unethical way: (I do not support this)

Accept with your 2nd choice company and then back out if you get a better offer. People do this and it is downright low.
