Which offer should I take?

Monkeys,

I'm a sophomore at a target trying to get a IB SA '23 offer and I was wondering which internship I should pick for this summer. I have three main offers on the table which are:

My internship last year was at a HF and before that I was a business development intern at a start-up. I don't have any deal experience so I was originally thinking that the IB job for this summer was a no brainer so I can talk about deals on interviews. But then again, I know that working at a name brand place like Morgan Stanley could be very helpful. For Charles Schwab, I was accepted to a pretty serious internship program where I know I will learn a lot and I know they are a big player for Wealth Management too. I've already submitted a ton of apps so I don't think I'll be able to flex my job for this upcoming summer to any of the banks. Please let me know which option you think would be most helpful for securing an IB role.
