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.

Nihil id reiciendis minima praesentium quae. Voluptates corrupti animi vel iusto autem qui sed et.

Tempore dolor cupiditate sed praesentium eos. Illo quos iure non. Voluptatem quasi iure quo dolorum possimus pariatur.

Laboriosam earum exercitationem expedita culpa facilis. Dolor enim est vero tempore non.
