Answer by Dancing D
There isn’t one unique internship that makes adcoms giggle like school girls over, each adcom has different priorities. They like to see things that you are passionate about and things that you can demonstrate a benefit from (gave you some insight, etc). Research is great, but the topic is your personal preference, it doesn’t even need to be medicinal if you don’t want it to be (unless you are applying MD/PhD). The also like to see that you started a program, or somehow expanded it. They like unique applications of your talents and interests. For example, lets say you like to play an instrument. Going to a hospital to play on a weekly basis is a great EC.

Question by ThrillHouse: How long to stay at unpaid internship?
Just graduated from college and I just started a unpaid internship in the field I really wanted to enter. However, it is unpaid and my parents are going to start charging me rent in a few months. The internship coordinator said there is potential for a full time position. It is supposed to be a summer internship.

So far, everyone has been impressed with the work I have been doing and I show ambition to learn new things. I bust my butt and don’t sit on facebook or other non work related websites all day.

Congratulations on your graduation and your internship. If its only a summer internship, then it should last until the end of the summer. At that time, if they don’t offer you a paid position, I’d look for something else. At least you can put this experience on your resume.

Question by R: Would you ever take an unpaid internship?
Let’s say you’re a college student off on summer break. You neglected to look for employment or internships during the school year or even the early summer. Would you take an unpaid internship?

Question by Megan: Internship cover letter: should I mention that I will be away for two weeks during the internship?
I am looking for a summer internship but I will be out of town for two weeks right in the middle of the summer (I cannot cancel my trip). Should I mention this in the cover letter?

No. When they like you enough for an interview, then tell them straighforwardly that you are very interested in the company and have a trip planned on X dates.
