M&A vs RX vs PE for NON-Finance Exit Opps

I'm a student at a target and I have positioned myself very well for recruiting next spring, but I am not sold on finance as a whole. Down the line, I'd be interested high-level strategy-like roles in corporations. Which job out of college is best to position myself to do this, of M&A, RX, and PE?
