Internship Kerfuffle

I'm seeking some advice. Last summer, I interned with BofA/ML in their Advisor Development Program. They wanted me to come back full-time, but I'm getting my Master's (MSF) and graduating a year late, so they offered me the same internship as last summer for summer 2022.

I had been applying to a lot of other internships, and I recently did a HireVue for GS in their CWM division. I have no idea what my chances are of even moving on to the SD or getting the internship for that matter.

The problem is I received my formal offer letter from BofA today, so I have two weeks to submit my decision. What if I don't hear back in time from GS? This feels like a classic "Bird in the hand" situation, because although BofA would offer lower pay, they basically guaranteed me a full-time offer after graduation in a city where my wife and I would like to live. Even if I would prefer to do GS, I'm scared to decline the BofA offer in the case that I get rejected by GS. I guess my real question is, "How quickly will they get back to me about next round, and am I fool to expect to get an offer from GS?" I go to a non-target school, but I have a 4.0 in both my graduate and undergraduate studies. Any advice at all is welcome.
