Junior Summer Internship

I want to receive a full time offer at MBB when I graduate.

I attend a top 3 undergrad business school (according to business week rankings).

In addition to directly applying to MBB...

should I apply to Accenture, Oliver Wyman and NERA Economic consulting in NYC for my summer internship?

OR

Should I apply to investment banks in NYC (BoA,GS, MS, UBS)?

Which route, decent consulting firms or top banks, will serve as a better stepping stone to MBB full time employment?

I mean, why not apply to all of them and see where you can get in? I can safely say that after you get the offers you can weigh the pros and cons.

Also, it would make most sense that consulting --> consulting
