ESCP Masters or Off cycles attempt for a year?

Hi, really need some advice here.

I have an offer for ESCP MiF, and I didn't apply to any other because I didn't have time to do GMAT. After I finish my exams, I have a summer internship at a BB, but I don't want to be overconfident and bet on converting and having an early grad start because of how the industry is atm. Have already had another internship in a pretty good office and think I can land a decent OC, or even FT but I am torn between just accepting escp and paying 2k euros deposit or taking the uncertainty and worse case scenario re-applying for masters upcoming September to land something better (that I can achieve) like LSE or LBS (if it is better? please feel free to give me your opinion).

LSE requires GMAT unless you come from a UK undergraduate institution, but even then it's listed as "strongly recommended"
