Internship vs Fulltime

With the recruiting season coming up, I am having a bit of a dilemma.

I recently got rejected after the AC for an internship position at a BB. This was due to underperformance on the case study, however I got good feedback on my group exercise and two interviews.

I am graduating this september and have a FT offer from a big 4 corporate finance department and will go with that now.

Since I really want to work at the BB I asked if I could reapply and this was no problem they said, because I did not have a strong negative feedback. My dilemma now is, should I go for a summer internship or go for the FT recruiting. I have heard from an inside source that FT recruiting this year will be very very low, so I think my chances will be higher if I will go for a summer internship.

Having said this, I wonder if they allow people who have already graduated and working FT to apply for an internship.

All input is appreciated.

Thanks.
