Poorly, almost as bad as a non target school
So, it seems that you are from a target school (EBS?), you will have an internship in Corporate Finance (TAS) in a well known company (Big4) and you will also have a PE start-up experience. To me, your CV sounds strong enough to receive interviews from good BBs. My friends and I got offers for internships in BB with worse CVs.
About the PE job, if working there your GPA will not be affected that much I think you should go for it.
It's not the EBS, but another target school. My GPA is not overwhelming, though solid (85%, don't know what this means in GPA measures). I also have a leading position in a political party's youth organization.
The PE job would cost me some hours, as I would be the only analyst and would have flexible working hours (though the German law is very restrictive concerning working hours, so I don't think it will hurt my schedule too much).
Just take the PE gig
Then I think it is gonna give you something to talk about during interviews that looks different from the average applicant. I don't see why you should not go for it. I don't think it is gonna harm your application...
Is it WHU? I don't know if it is private or not.
