Deloitte Consulting (Human Capital-Rewards in SF) vs. ZS Associates Consulting (San Diego) vs. Accenture Strategy (Seattle/SF)

Hi guys,

I'm trying to decide between 3 offers: Deloitte Consulting (in San Francisco for Human Capital-Rewards/ARA), ZS Associates (Business Analyst role in San Diego) and Accenture Strategy (choosing between Seattle or San Francisco office).

Decision factors:

-Which of these will help me into a top 7 MBA school? -Which of these have a better culture/work-life balance? -Which of these will be better in terms of exit opportunities? -Which of these locations is better (Most of my friends will be in SF after university, but SF is very expensive. Also, not sure what kind of companies each location works with).

Please offer me any advice you guys may have.

Thank you!
