Need help deciding on an internship

Hi everyone,

Background about me: international sophomore from an non-target school looking to break in IB after graduation. This summer I got two offers: 1 one from Merrill Lynch Wealth Management here in the US with a lot of menial, trivial responsibilities; and the other 1 from an investment fund back in my home country as an investment analyst. I can expect to do a lot and learn a lot there by doing research, models, etc. I don't know what I should take in order to maximize my chance for junior year BB IB internship. Any input is really appreciated.
