Target Schools for Consulting/IB

Hello, I recently committed to UCLA and was wondering what its placement was like compared to other top schools. I know it does a little worse by virtue of not having an UG business school, but I committed to it over Berkeley after disliking the social atmosphere and crazy competitiveness of the school. Any thoughts or insight on what I should do? I'm thinking of skipping the biz econ bs and pursuing something more along the lines of math/programming to make me more marketable. Any advice?
