Sophomore Internship Choices

Hey guys,

Was wondering what you thought would be the best internship in terms of trying to get in to a BB IB internship junior summer (I am a sophomore now).

1) Morgan Stanley Corporate Client Group
2) Morgan Stanley PWM
3) Internship on an equity trading desk at LPL Financial
4) Equity Research internship at LPL Financial

Any advice would be great

Also - I go to a target, not a great GPA (around 3.5 - but should be up to >3.6 by junior fall)
