Getting into PWM ...

I have been rejected by a few places now, just wondering what they are looking for? I have a small amount of work experience; I am still studying, but I have recently interned in capital structure/debt advisory.

I am really intrigued about PWM; from what I have heard, it's a good mix of interpersonal and quantitative skills with a bit more freedom, too. Alumni from my University at BB banks have all said the same thing, that it is a great way of getting your foot in the door. 

Any thoughts? Thanks.
