It’s good to be Sarah Esty.

You went to Harvard. You’re on track to get your MBA and JD from Yale. Your LinkedIn profile screams over-achiever.

And now the White House is calling.

Esty, the 24-year-old daughter of Connecticut Democratic Congresswoman Elizabeth Esty, was accepted Thursday to the White House internship program.

The graduate student from Cheshire will join 146 other interns from across the nation at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. this summer as part of the unpaid program.

Esty is the only one who hails from Connecticut.

Yale will be well represented, however, sending seven students to the White House as summer interns.
