Recruiting FT for PE / IB Opps with a HF Junior Internship

Hi -- I'm about to enter junior summer and will be at a MM (P72/Citadel etc). After some thought, have realized I'm interested in starting at PE / Banking and have seen a lot of apps already come out (Warburg, Parthenon, Qatalyst, etc) -- does anyone know how these firms evaluate someone for FT (if at all) given non-banking junior summer?
