Placing Consumer Group

Hey all, applying to Bschool this year interested in consumer & retail groups for IB.

Are there any banks that let you apply for a coverage group instead of a generalist pool at the Associate level?

I’m sure it’s a mix but also wanted to find out which bank coverage groups do their own M&A modeling vs. using a product coverage group.
