Schools for Consulting

I've just went through the application process and I have narrowed down the schools that I have been admitted to. I'm currently making a decision between the following colleges and I would like to know which one would provide me with the best opportunity to get a job in management consulting in the future. I've looked at all other factors and I like all these schools pretty much equally so this is basically the deciding factor. I didn't do to well in high school so none of these colleges are outstanding.

1. Michigan State University

2. New York University

3. University of Toronto

From what I've heard, NYU would give me the best opportunity however I'm not sure I can afford it. U of T on the other hand is affordable and I really like the school. If you had to choose between U of T and MSU which one would you choose? How good is U of T with management consulting placement?
