Freshman choosing from 5 internship offers. HELP!

Dear,

I am an international student from Korea studying in Wisconsin, at a non-target.

I am a freshman, who just completed his first semester here. After an extensive effort of network, I have ended up with several offers I can choose from: two at Search Fund (one of which I have been interning for), one at investment consulting firm, one at healthcare firm (as a buseiness analyst), and one at invesment firm.

I am a very lucky student, mostly due to urban area of the campus. Which one should I choose?

I would like to work at IB, PE, or management consulting, though I have not decided yet. I deepy appreciate your insights!

Yeah for sure. Thanks for your response! Search Fund companies: small. (1-10) - offered. Investment consulting firm: boutique (10ish) - not offered yet. Healthcare company: small (5ish) - offered. Investment company: boutique (10ish) - have a meeting soon, not offered yet.

 

The thing about healthcare business though is I'll be responsible for business strategy work, with KPI material and probably accounting book to forecast. It seems like a solid opportunity since I will have flexible work and also interesting jobs.
