Which Internship Should I go with?

Hey guys just a quick question about what kind of internship I should aim for this fall as a incoming sophomore at a target with a 3.8 to position myself for a top SA offer in the spring.

Small background on the internships I already have on my resume. I spent my freshman year time managing the shit out of myself so I have racked up a botique IB and a searchfund.

(Before anyone tells me to touch grass, I have and I will but I am from a low income family and its very important that I get a top offer because the money isn't for myself rather I need the paycheck to help with my family's expenses and pay my younger brother's tutition)

With that out of the way, for this fall I have a chance of interning with a top rappers manager. Should I go with this or go for a more traditional internship like a boutique or something. I don't want the people who review my application to think I wasted my time in the fall.

Given you already have so many internships, definitely take the music offer. I doubt it'll be super relevant but it's cool and unique - you can make it a one-line entry on your resume and people will ask a ton of questions. 

With boutique IB already on there absolutely no one will think you're wasting your time. Honestly, between your prior internships and being at a target you'd be fine to take the semester off from internships if that makes you feel better about taking the music one.
