Rice vs UVA Undergrad for Consulting

Hello!

I have the choice between both wonderful schools, and was wondering whether MBB consulting/tier 2 was possible from both.  I strongly prefer Rice's undergrad culture to UVA; I am pretty unwilling to join a greek organization and I feel that academically Rice edges UVA out in STEM, which I would prefer to study undergrad (of course McIntire would also be in the plan at UVA).  However, if UVA has far better placement than Rice, I would be willing to go there instead.  What do you all think about both schools?

Thank you for your time!
