Berkeley Math/Economics vs UCLA Math Economics

Hi Everyone,

I got accepted for both Berkeley and UCLA this year. Specifically for UC Berkely i got into just Economics, but am planning on double majoring and probably declaring pre-Haas as well. For UCLA, I got into Pre-Economics and Mathematics and would be double majoring this with stats or concentration in business.
I was wondering what the differences in prestige between UCLA and Berkeley is, and how the affects placement for graduate and post graduate programs, and also for jobs.
