Please Help! (MBB FT vs. IB SA vs. T2 Consulting)

I little bit about myself- an incoming senior at a non-target (Top50) and interning/was supposed to intern at a Tier-2 consulting firm this summer. Recently received an offer from (UMM/low tier EB) IB for SA 2021. I want to do PE in the long term but I'm not sure if I should take IB even though I'll be graduating next year or wait and recruit for MBB in the fall for FT. The prospects of MBB are not looking so good since I am at a non-target. Should I stick with my current firm or take IB for next summer or recruit for MBB in the fall?
