PE Analyst Programs, Thoughts?

Currently a soph w a NYC BB IB gig lined up for the summer. Correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve heard this opens up the door to MF PE analyst gigs straight out of UG. What are peoples thoughts on these programs as opposed to the vanilla IB -> PE -> MBA route? Like most UGs, I don’t really know jack shit, so any info helps, from the feasibility of getting an offer, to A2A at those PE shops, to exits from those programs. Any info really appreciated given how early recruiting happens nowadays. Thanks guys :)
