Which option should I go with?

I am so far 0/6 on my first 6 superdays and only have 4 super days left so I am starting to get nervous without a backup plan (except for one that I would really love to avoid). Now I am facing a dilemma. I have superday invitation for Firm A and B. Firm A is definitely more desirable than Firm B.

The superdays for Firm A and B are on the same day. After contacting them, this is what they told me.

Firm A: Too bad you cant show up to this superday. but anyhow we would like to invite you to future super days but they are not confirmed yet because they are dependent on the outcome of previous super days.
Firm B: No flexibility, take it or leave it.

So right now I have 2 options:

1) Cancel Firm B and go with Firm A

2) Reschedule with Firm A for an unconfirmed future super day and interview with firm B.

Beggers can't be choosers and I am running out of interviews, so my goal is really just to secure something and maximizing the probability of landing an internship, how desirable the company is less important.

I have 2 questions:

  1. Is Firm A basically saying, not only are we not sure we are going to have more super days, you are also less likely to get an offer because spots are filling up?
  2. Which option should I go with?
 

I think the offer you have is much more better than what I believe is A (a BB over a non-BB?). Also if I got A correct, it's more quant - I don't even think it is S&T.

But to answer your question, I would go with B.

1) Probability of going to A and and not being able to go with B is for sure 2) Probability of going to B AND A is a possibility
