Internship/School

What is important in an internship? Skills or brand? And what skill is the most salient to develop at the undergraduate level? 

Personally, I feel like if you can write cogently and speak effectively - it'll really help you stand out from the pack. What do you guys think?

I think networking and communication skills are imperative at an undergraduate level!

As an undergrad...effective communication is a great skill, but will not totally differentiate you. I recommend finding an internship or school club that lets you own a project and practice your leadership & influence skills.
