Northwestern for Management Consulting

I am a student at Northwestern planning to pursue a career in management consulting. Although Northwestern is a good school, I get the feeling that it does not have a very strong reputation in the consulting world. Would I be better off transferring to Columbia, Penn, or UChicago given that I have the necessary scores and ECs to do so?

How well would Northwestern undergraduates do in Hong Kong and Singapore in terms of consulting? What is Northwestern's reputation like there?
