PWM Internships- Worth it?

Hey All,

I was planning on getting a PMW internship this summer of my freshman year. Do banks look upon PWM internships as something positive, or do they view me as a PWM prospect instead of IB? Also, I was wondering how hard it is to get a PWM internship in BB banks like JPM, GS, MS, etc. I had read in the past that it was pretty easy but was wondering if this is the same now.
