Is it fairly well known? What type of think tank is it?
will you think inside of a tank?
geo-politics or domestic policies think tanks? how useful do you think they are?
If it's summer after junior year, it will not be useful at all (you should be interning for MBB, or if that doesn't happen, second tier.)
If it's any other time, it all depends on how you can speak about your experience. So basically, it's as useful as any other non-MBB internship.
