UCLA VS CAL

Hey WSO members,

I got into both Cal as a junior level transfer and by other option would be UCLA. My major at UC Berkeley would be political economy and at UCLA it would be just economics. I want to pursue a career in management consulting ideally MBB, and location doesn't really matter to me. What school and program would be the best option for someone trying to accomplish these goals

Thanks in advance!!
