Intermediate Capital Group PE internship vs Deloitte GPS Consulting

I'm interested in pursuing a career in IB/PE(completely original), but I wasn't able to get an offer/interview with any IB's this semester. I'm a sophomore, and I have an offer from ICG PE and Deloitte GPS consulting. If I want to try again next year would it better to go for ICG, even if Deloitte, presumingly, more likely to give me a full-time/junior year offer? I'm located in the United States if that helps.

Thanks for the reply. Do you have any reason why I should go with ICG though? I understand their name brand is big in Europe, but if I'm shooting for U.S BB, wouldn't Deloitte be a better choice, since even if I possibly fail I can transition from Deloitte consulting to Deloitte IB then maybe PE later?
