Advice on breaking into Private Banking

About to go into my sophomore year of college. I am currently a commercial credit analyst intern at smaller bank (little over 8 billion in assets). Got this position last second, but I am very lucky to be able to have gotten an internship after my freshman year. 

I am interested in private banking as a career, and I have a few questions regarding the career.

My first question is, how hard is it really to break into private banking. What are the chances of breaking into, let's say, JPM Private bank.

My second question is, what internships (other than a private banking internship) would serve me best? of course PB internships are top priority, but if push comes to shove and I am not able to land an internship, what other positions will allow me to learn similar things?

Sorry if this badly written, writing it in a rush.
