KPMG EVS or S&P Credit Rating Intern?

Hi everyone, I am a junior in west coast and currently very frustrated in choosing my. My two options are Economic Valuation Services in west coast office and S&P Credit Rating in NYC headquarter. As for me, I would definitely love financial industry and maybe IB as my ultimate goal.(well actually I don't really know:( sad) Here are some pros & cons for these two jobs and I hope you guys can help me out of this:

KPMG EVS---
Pros: 1.closer to our school and we have pretty good alumni network.
2.The job will cover business evaluation and economic research which are overlapped with some IB techniques.
3.I am the only intern in the office and better chance to have return offer.
4.There are many young associates in the office and I very much like the people there

Cons:
1.The job also has transfer pricing and evaluating intangible assets aspects, which are more accounting and less finance.
2.KPMG's experience is more common?

S&P---
Pros: 1. Location is better. NYC has more opportunities.
2. More related to Investment Banking
3.Better brand name?

Cons: 1.All interns will be located in NYC headquarter and there will be less bonds with local bosses.
2.Entry level credit rating has no exposure to modeling. I heard it was kinda boring because what people do is basically input numbers and write about it. I am afraid that I will not learn that much from the intern.
3.Since it is only an intern, I don't know how valuable is the location because I am not sure whether it will help me to find a job in NYC after I graduate.

Thank you so much!!

I'm having a similar dilemma. for brand name I would say S&P and a lot of people don't have the opportunity to intern in NYC so you should really consider that.
