I’l be finishing up highschool this year and might be able to get a summer internship at CIBC(Toronto), the thing is my parents also thought about sending me on a trip to Asia this summer to appreciate life over here. My question is would having internship experience this summer and over the next four years of university put me at a huge advantage for B-School acceptance? or are summer internships not as valuable as full time experience

For example, would graduating from Schulich,which is where i’m planning to go,plus a 720+ score on the GMAT,excellent essays & recs, 2 years full time work experience as an analyst and 3/4 summers worth of internships be enough into a top 10 MBA program??
