Undergrad with a ton of prestigious internships and research in chemistry. Should I write my cover letter for advisory IB to be more generalist?

Undergrad with a ton of prestigious internships and research in chemistry. Should I write my cover letter for advisory IB in my particular coverage group, or should I write it to be more generalist? I only get past HireVue for advisory positions in my field's coverage group. I have tried a more generalist cover letter but because of my past work experience, I only interview for roles in my advisory coverage group.
