Bristol is generally regarded as a semi target; how big of an advantage would a student from Bristol have over one at York?
I’ve done my research and the alumni in IB or consulting from Bristol is 2-2.5x the amount vs York. Aside from this, what are the differences between either uni for IB or consulting?

Bristol is wayyy more respected. Fun bunch of people usually
Bristol probably the best uni in terms of maximising both prestige and fun. However not the funnest uni and also not the most prestigious either just a good position on both.
Big entry point into IB plus strong alumni network.
Definitely Bristol
Bristol, and it's not even close.
Apart from the alumni network that you have mentioned, I would argue that Bristol will get you far more HireVues (ie. not autodinged) than a degree from York. As someone else mentioned, Bristol also has a decent reputation for being a nice place to study with a large student organization.
Just to echo the obvious between the two Unis, Bristol is the easy choice. It's not even close. Going to York will be a massive uphill battle for any high finance role in the city compared to Bristol.
