Importance of Types of Internships?

Something I've always been curious about: I understand that if you are trying to enter IBD, the best thing to have on your resume is demonstrated finance internships/experience.

However, what if you have 3-4 experiences at business firms, in either a strategy/consulting/management role instead? I've always knew I've wanted business, but haven't done anything specifically finance related. Of course, I plan on obtaining a summer internship in finance before I begin my MSF, but I'm wondering if I'll lose my competitiveness by having a more "general business" focus throughout college?
