SA Help Wanted!

Hello WSO. Long time follower, first time poster. I have been underway with the SA recruitment process. As a student (athlete) at a top non target liberal arts school it has certainly been an uphill battle... So far I have been able to scrounge together a few offers through (connections), (networking etc.) and am looking for some advice on where to spend my summer and eventually the next years before the PE poaching process lol. In terms of offers I currently have Greenhill, HL, GS DCM, CS IBD and KeyBanc Capital Markets. Obviously there is a lot of variety and the name of the game for me is exit opps, so WSO what should I do? Thanks for any advice... trying to make it on the "Street".
