Internship Application Advice

Hi guys,

New over here, by way of introduction I study Finance at a semi-target/target. I've done an internship in RE, one in PE monitoring/research and one in Private Capital Fundraising (Research/Pitch Prep). I'm applying for summers now (final year, but doing Masters), and just wanted to get your opinions on which divisions I have the best background for (most likely to proceed to interview). Do you think Equity Research/Capital Markets Roles/Lev Finance/FI Research/ DCM/ECM is my best option? I know I might receive responses to go with what I like best, but I've done enough research to make it through the technical interview questions for each (Gave CFA level I in June). Please do feel free to give me your advice in terms of which apps will get me to the interview stages based purely off CV and Testing.

Thank you very much.
