Alvarez & Marsal Business Consulting vs. Accenture SI Consulting

Hey all.

I've browsed around the forum for quite a while, but had a question to ask. I am currently a senior in college getting ready to graduate and start work. From the full-time recruiting cycle, I managed to get an offer from Alvarez & Marsal in business consulting, and am in the process of interviewing with Accenture for an SI analyst position.

I right now am pretty set on the A&M consulting position, but I am wondering if going into a bigger company like Accenture could possibly be a better experience. Also, which is the better option to take in hopes of going to a top-tier business school in the future?
