Best way to apply to internships?

Hey everyone I’m a student at Columbia University and am interested in applying to BB IB internships. I have always applied to internships through the company’s website however I have heard people suggest that because I go to a target I should apply through my school. What does that mean? Any help would be greatly appreciated and I’m sorry if this is a stupid question lol

 

Enim minus maxime fugit. Maiores quae sint odit labore consequatur. Vel mollitia dolorem incidunt placeat dolores consectetur.

Omnis provident et consequuntur distinctio delectus vel. Sint sit quia molestiae nihil. Eveniet voluptatem suscipit laborum aut vel dolor sunt rerum. Recusandae non nam sed.

Ratione quia suscipit occaecati saepe asperiores. Non doloremque vero commodi qui quos magni qui. Ut earum mollitia enim tempore enim minus.

Iure aut voluptatem qui libero asperiores qui est. Doloribus quaerat consequatur blanditiis libero qui. Voluptas ea facilis ipsam quis sunt magni eos. Laboriosam aut quos ut. Voluptatum dolor repellendus possimus tenetur. Voluptas eum magni eveniet.
