BNP S&T or BofA Wealth Management?

I'm a rising soph and recently received two offers: one from BofA wealth management at Merill Lynch, and other is BNP S&T.
Both in NYC, similar financial compensation, etc.

I received my BofA offer last month so I already accepted that one, but as of right now, I am really interested in trying out S&T but I know that BofA is probably a better, more reputable firm at least in the US.

For my junior year, I am aiming to hopefully get into one of the top firms (MS, JPM, GS) for either S&T or banking. In this case, what would you think is the best path for me to take?

I received different advice and feedback from people in the field but just wanted to see what the WSO community would say.

Any info or help is highly appreciated! Thanks.
