Golman Sachs Investment Management subdivisions

I am trying to decide if I will apply for the general subdivision in investment management or the other two, i.e. AM and PWM. Do you think it plays a role in the selection process? For example, if I apply for the general subdivision do I keep my chance open for both PWM and AM or should I treat it as a third category? To be honest, I am attracted to both AM and PWM, as they seem to me quite similar (correct me if I am wrong), the latter being a more 'social' job. What would you advise me? I also come from a law and politics background, would it be safer to opt for PWM?
