The biggest issue is the ability to learn quickly. There is probably little or no work experience yet. I would not put much weight into school projects. I would look for any contributions to open source or private projects. My recommendation would be to work on an open source project starting now. You will get to work on a better project (since you get to pick) and quite possibly learn more. You might find out that this turns out better than an internship in the long road.
