BB Ops vs. Healthcare Rotation vs. MSF (pre-experience)

Hi Monkeys,

Right now I'm caught between a rock and a hard place. I apologize in advance for the lengthy post, but this is weighing heavy on my life. I'm a senior finance student at a non-target and will be graduating in the spring. At the moment I have 2 offers: BO operations at a BB, or a rotation with a major healthcare provider. My goal is to work at a BB in IB or CIB, or pursue strategic consulting. My thoughts are that a finance/econ role with a major healthcare provider could help me land in a Healthcare industry segment in IB. At the same time I would be passing on the opportunity to have the BB on my resume. Essentially, I'll either have to fight to break into banking from healthcare or fight to move out of the BO.

For the reasons stated above, I've began to consider an MSF (Yes, I'm aware that I'm late to the game in terms of the application process). I feel as if I am an excellent candidate at Villanova. This would give me another year to network, possibly land a better role, and improve my chances at an M7 MBA down the line (I think?). Taking this route would mean that I would need to decline both offers before receiving my admission status to any schools I plan on applying to. So I could end up out of school and unemployed.

Again, I'm sorry for the long post (I'm sure it was painful), but I can't arrive at a decision. Any/all advice would be appreciated. Thank you!
