From J1 to F1 - need your help

Hi,
I've been working in the States under J1 for the last three years, renewing it every year. My current visa is valid till October 20, 2008. On August 8th I begin my Master's in Georgetown and on July 14th I have an interview at the Consulate for my F1.
My school requires me to enter the States with F1, therefore I believe once I arrive on my F1 my current J1 won't be valid anymore. Is it correct?

Moreover, after I will enter the States on F1 I will still be emlpoyed for about three more weeks based on my previous/current J1. Is it illegal, and if yes what are the possible consiqueces?

Thank you
