IB Sophomore Internship and Involvement in a Deal: A Disadvantage for SA Recruiting?

Over the summer, I expect to be doing at least some modeling for deals at an IB.

I have heard about how people are asked tougher technical questions/grilled extensively on the deal whenever they put something related to working on a deal, whether it be helping out with a pitchbook or modeling. At the same time, it looks great because you are doing something relevant to the job.

Is this generally true? I plan on writing that I was involved in a deal, but I don't think I will be able to answer a lot about the deal because I was just an intern.

Thanks!
