Freshman year internship v semi-target?

Hey y'all!

I have an opportunity to work at the Atlanta fed the summer of my freshman year. That's contingent on me going to UGA or GTech tho.

I could; however, go to a semi-target like Emory or Vandy.

Which choice would be better for breaking into IB? Thanks.
