Best LACs for Consulting

Hi,

I am a rising senior in hs who is interested in pursuing management consulting and was wondering, what is the general consensus on LAC rankings for consulting? Is it even a good choice to go to one as someone who wants to get into the field?

Williams and Amherst are def better for finance recruiting, but there seems to be a decent presence in MBB/T2 from those places. It is true though that pretty much any T15 (or frankly T20) uni will place better for consulting than LACs
