HR Problem

Last summer I interned at a BB as part of an intern program for graduating high school seniors. During my internship I met with an alum from my high school who also happened to be head of the department that I am interested in working for this summer. After our meeting he expressed an interest in me working in his department for this summer.

He put me in contact with their recruiter for summer analysts and from my meetings/conversations with her, they want to extend an offer to me for the summer.

However I just received an email from the HR recruiter for the internship program that I did last year. They also run a program for college freshman. Basically she emailed me and told me that if I want to work for the dept. I'm interested in I would have to formerly apply through their program since it is the only program for freshman.

I am curious to hear your thoughts on this? Am I wrong for going directly through the group I want to work for instead of the HR freshman program?

The deadline for the freshman program is this Tuesday but I am still on break and don't have any teacher recs etc...

Thanks in advance for your input!
