PNC Loan Syndications vs. KeyBanc Capital Markets

Hey guys, I'm a junior. What are your thoughts on the best choice for a summer internship: PNC Debt Capital Markets- Loan Syndications in Philly or KeyBanc Capital Markets- Financial Sponsors Group in NYC? I wouldn't mind going to a BB for FT but my ultimate goal is to go into PE/VC/HF.

Also, any thoughts on which firm looks the best to get into a top 20 MBA school?

KeyBanc Capital Markets

"I do not think that there is any other quality so essential to success of any kind as the quality of perseverance. It overcomes almost everything, even nature."
 

Thanks for the help guys! I'm just a little worried b/c I was told that there wouldn't be much modeling in financial sponsors either. I guess the group starts some of their LBO models but much of it is completed by their debt/credit teams. However, based on the feedback, it looks like Key is definitely the best option.
