I can’t agree completely. I don’t think it adds anything more valuable to your college applications than being a dedicated athlete, or in a select music ensemble, or employed for money. It’s something you do outside of classes and homework. It’s clearly more worthwhile than some things you could spend your time on (e.g., television or binge drinking), but not particularly more “valuable” than anything else.

That is, unless it has intrinsic value to you. If you do this internship because you want to explore a career in business, and particularly in real estate development, that’s great. And then tell colleges about it when you apply. But if you do it just to get a leg-up in college admissions, I don’t think it will work.
