Management Consulting: UTD or SMU

Hi all,

I've been accepted to both UT Dallas and SMU's respective MBA programs. Taking tuition/living cost/etc. out of the equation, which do you feel has better job placement in management consulting (PwC, Deloitte, BCG, Bain, etc) ? I understand that MBB will be out of reach with these options but would like to get some unbiased opinions on Big 4 consulting.

UTD is higher ranked than SMU as of this year(not by much though) but I hear SMU provides some intangible benefits like the alumni network that UTD has yet to develop. I wouldn't mind staying in Dallas after graduation if that helps any.
