Career advice that will make me competitive for M7 MBA

I have some important decisions to make. I am currently a sophomore finance student at Santa Clara University with a 3.8 GPA. I currently have interviews at two MM banks in Cleveland (that's where I'm from originally) for summer 2023. I have also strongly considered the Apple FDP program as that is a common path for peers at my school. Other options I am considering are Accenture Strat and Big 4 consulting. Out of these options, what will make me the most competitive for M7? I also would not mind Ross in the future.
