I'm a soph at a top target and will likely be interning at a BB this summer. How to get these summer analyst spots? The kids that they hire, are they connected some way or just plain kids?

Are you likely going to be at a BB this summer because you have connections?
My buddy this summer who was a SA at a megafund did a BB stint the previous summer and is #1 of his class at a top target school.
I don't know of anybody who has interned as an undergrad at KKR in private equity - most KKR interns are with the client and partner group, which is business development and investor relations. These positions are typically just filled with OCR.
BX PE runs a structured SA program, and I believe that Cerberus, Silver Lake, and Bain Capital do as well. Apollo takes sophomores, which are also recruited via OCR.
