HF Recruiting from IB

Just started my analyst stint at a top BB, top group. I have an interest in PE, but more interested in joining a HF. Recently gained an interest in equities, and have no previous investing/trading experience. I would like to try my hand at a HF before I go to B-School. Everyone in my group is recruiting for PE. Considering I would be in the minority recruiting for a HF, would this give me a higher chance of landing a HF spot? When should I start interviewing, if I plan to complete my entire two year IB program? How does HF recruiting compare to PE recruiting? Any additional advice is appreciated.
