Incoming Econ Major @ NYU undecided between IB or Consulting

Hello monkes, I (incoming freshmen at NYU CAS) wondering whether or not it's harder to try and break into MM IB or MBB consulting. I'm more than willing to network my ass off and know how difficult it is for either. No preference between the two, looking for VC exit opps later down the road. Any advice at all is appreciated.
