3 months free before FT position : PE internship ? Consulting internship ?

Hi all, 

I have 3 months from April to early June free before starting a FT position in August. I have 2 "regrets" :

- Never tried consulting internship 

- Never tried pure PE internship

Is it irrational to get a position in one industry or the other on those dates ? I know that McKinsey / BCG / Bain offers some 8-10 weeks internship format and are quite flexible, would probably have to apply by Jan.

What about PE

Thank you very much.
