Advice: Bank of America Corporate Banking or Citi Private Banking

I am currently interviewing for both a summer analyst position for Citi's Private Bank and Bank of America's Corporate Bank for positions in New York. I am a sophomore from a non-target school with a 3.8 GPA and got into these programs through their sophomore events. What are your guy's thoughts on which one should I take if hypothetically get offers from both? Which one has the better culture? Which one pays more? Which one gets me more experience? These would be for the summer of 2019 in the New York City offices and I have both of the superdays on Monday. Additionally, my 3 favorite areas are corporate banking, private banking and risk so both of them fall under something I would like to do long-term in a career. Thanks!
