Internships: How important?

<p>Do colleges actually take into account that you are interning at a profession that you are seriously thinking about? I am currently in a veterinary hospital internship and want to be a vet. If I apply to a vet school like UC Davis or Cornell, will that improve my chances to get there?</p>

<p>Without a doubt, internships are incredibly important.</p>

<p>They are as important as any other extracurricular.</p>
