Of course getting internships isn't going to hurt you, but if you're doing what everyone else is doing then you're going to have to learn how to sell yourself besides saying, "I'm a hardworker," etc. whenever someone asks why they should hire you (especially since everyone feels that way about themselves).
I really don't feel like getting into the minute details of this discussion. My point in telling them to do something different with their summers is that if they're worried about their GPA affecting their chance for getting a job then they need to set themselves apart from everyone else who is doing the exact same thing (taking summer courses, working in a hospital, research, etc). It's really not that hard of a concept to grasp.
