Offers and Deadlines

Hey guys,

Thanks to everyone for your helpful comments on my summer internship search so far. I've a bit farther along than last time I posted, and I have a kinda complicated question I was hoping you guys could help me with.

I had an interview with a really great company (BO work mostly, but a paid, structured program with opportunities to transfer to other divisions in the future) and I thought that it went well, but I called today and they told me that it would take another two weeks or so before they make a decision.

So I'm kind of stuck. I've already passed on a marketing job for a capital markets technology firm, and I'm probably going to tell UBS PWM that I can't accept their offer. So that leaves an unpaid 7 to 7 ER gig at an MM IB, and two interviews this week with a bond insurer and a hedge fund headhunter, respectively.

What should I do? I really don't think that I can ask for companies to wait until May for me to get back to them, but I'm really interested in the opportunity. Should I just pass and settle for what I have now? I don't know if I'm comfortable with reneging on offers down the line, either.

Thanks a lot everyone. Sorry for the wall of text.
