OP - in other threads you mentioned shadowing hours and MCAT. If you have a student interested in going to med school they should be talking to their pre health department about doing shadowing, volunteering and research. It’s a much different path than engineering internships.

As others have asked, knowing your child’s major and end goal would be very helpful. You are not going to get good responses until you do do. Engineering internships are not what is helpful for med school applicants. And a pure science major is not going to get an engineering job in a gap year, and that wouldn’t help anyway.

My D’s friends who are in med school or who are going next year, worked in labs, both on and off campus, volunteered at places like the VA, shadowed, got published, were medical assistants, EMTs, etc……
