ACN Strategy vs PwC

I am from a semi-target university (Think UCLA, Boston College, Cornell), and am currently on the WL at an MBB Tier-1 office (Boston, NYC, SF). I have an offer deadline coming up, though, and I want to make sure I give proper consideration to my other options. The other offers I am considering are specifically:

PwC Management Consulting (Tier-1 City) - Not Strategy& but the legacy PwC Consulting division.

Accenture Strategy Analyst (Tier-1 City) - New rotational program that gives you the opportunity to work in a bunch of industries.

In the medium-term, I am interested in attending an MBA business schools">M7 B-School. In the long term, I am interested in pursuing social impact consulting, but am also interested in possibly having another go at MBB. I am currently leaning toward ACN Strategy, but would like to see if there are any other perspectives on this decision. What makes the most sense for B-School, Prestige, etc?
