Internships Require Current Enrollment?

Background: I graduated form college a year ago and I have worked since then for about 6 months. I just interviewed for a PAID corporate finance summer internship, it went pretty well.

Today they emailed me to ask if I'm still in school, as my application and resume says I have graduated.

Should I enroll in something literally tomorrow and say "Yes I graduated, but I'm enrolled at X school"??

Just be honest but spin it such that you are still actively looking for corporate finance internship and is willing to work extra hard for the duration having twice the motivation to succeed at work compared to undergraduates.

The heights by great men reached and kept were not obtained by sudden flight. But they, while their companions slept, were toiling upward in the night. -Thomas S. Monson
