What division are you trying to get into? This plays a major role in your decision. But in all reality, you take any of those if the opportunity presents itself.

"As they say in poker, 'If you've been in the game 30 minutes and you don't know who the patsy is, you're the patsy.'" - Warren Buffett (1987)
 

Anyone who's trying to act like there is a clear cut answer without getting more information from you is ignorant. Your choice of firm largely depends on the division or industry/product group you're interested in. To say GS or MS is better across the board would simply be false. It all depends.

Well I know BAML is a generalist internship, and to my knowledge MS and GS are group specific, so you could always take that into consideration. Not too familiar with Citi or Barclays, although my friend is interning in the Barclays Chicago office and I believe its a generalist program, but I could be wrong. Not sure if that holds true for the NY office, which is where I'm assuming these offers are for.

Just food for thought. These are all great offers, so choose the one where you will be placed into a group(or generalist program) of your interest. There is always next fall for FT recruiting if you change your mind.

Are you sure BAML has a generalist program? I know a friend who interned there last summer, and he was working at Industrials group and got FT offer from a same group.
