Major vs College

Hello everyone, 

I've been doing some reading on here, and I have a good idea on the importance of college brand and network. I was admitted to UCLA, UCSD, and UCSB. For UCLA, I can only study Philosophy as that's what I applied for (transfer admissions.) I can do econ at the other two. Would UCLA still be the better choice to break into IB, even as a Philosphy major? I would add that I'm strong in Philosophy and likely to do well and maintain a high GPA. Would this major disadvantage me? Thank you
