Will too many internships hurt me?

Hello!

I am currently an incoming senior and am having second thoughts about my extracurriculars. About 4-5 of my extracurriculars are internships. I originally thought work experience would impress colleges, but now I worry if it will be repetitive. One of these internships was a shadowing at a small consultant company and another was under another consultant company. The last two I feel are more important as one resulted in my work being presented to my school district’s superintendent (which I’m still not sure if this is even impressive so some insight would be really helpful) and another was being the only youth member on a team for a highly publicized project under an Apple-level company (this was a paid internship).

I have other extracurriculars, but do these internships seems repetitive and could they hurt my application?

Thank you so much!
