Does it look bad to apply to many different roles within a bank?

I am applying to internships for a SA 2022 position but am not sure where my interests really lie yet in finance. While I know I should provide more details, I am avoiding to do so intentionally. 

Would it look bad if I just apply to a variety of roles that look to be interesting and come close to my skillset? I am 100% confident I want to work at an investment bank, but I am less confident in which role that would be. I believe I am a solid candidate for both Investment Banking and Sales & Trading, but also want to see how I would fare for a Quantitative Analyst position because my undergraduate degree is in math and CS. I am worried my profile would get flagged or ignored because I am not choosing a clear career choice. Thanks!
