Masters degree - Summer Analyst or Associate

Dear distinguished Finance elites,

I will be starting my graduate program journey this Fall'24 but since applications for IB internships 2025 are already opend I wanted to throw myself out there.

I am concerned about the concrete position I should be applying for, as I will pursue a Masters of Science in Finance. It appears Analyst positions are designed for bachelor's while summer associates are more tailored for MBA students.

Which one should I pick, I don't want to be disqualified just because I chose the wrong program!

Best
