Internships Matter for Lateral Hiring

When trying to break into IB from something like big 4 TAS, corporate finance, valuation, or consulting within 2 years of graduation, how much do college internships matter? For example, if you did a boutique IB or PE internship senior year would banks care much about this or would your experience in say valuation matter more? For a candidate with multiple high finance internships who did not land an IB/PE/HF job, should they focus on these college internships instead of their say valuation work in interviews?
