UChicago or Summer Internship (Corp Finance)

I am currently a sophomore at a non target (have applied to semi targets & targets for transfer. Good shot at semi target). For the summer I will be interning at a F500 in corporate finance. That said, I came across University of Chicago's Summer Business Scholar program (costs $6,300). As of now, I am not sure what is more important and will look better an internship or brand name summer program? Did I make the right decision committing to the internship? I want to do investment banking, preferably at a BB in NY.
