I'm still in school and will need to start looking for a full-time position in the next year or so. So far I've already done two internships and hoping to get another one this summer, do y'all feel like i could use this experience to negotiate for a higher salary and if so how would I go about doing it?

No. Quite frankly what you did on your internship matters less than just the simple fact that you had them. Your experience on those help you get a job, but likely your interviewer won't value it enough to give you any salary leverage.

That said if you're working for a small company you MAY have some room to negotiate, but with a larger company consider that salary locked.
