I am not very familiar with TFA but I think going into Big 4 will help you more to find a good job following your MBA: For the admission, yes probably TFA sounds better.

I'm grateful that I have two middle fingers, I only wish I had more.

Do what you want to do. The key to MBA admissions isn't a specific career path, it's excelling in what you do. People tend to excel in the areas that interest them most.

From a recruiting perspective once you get to school I don't think you'd be disadvantaged if you went the consulting route. There are several people in my class with education/teaching backgrounds who were able to land internships. As for high finance, that's a tough route for anyone who doesn't already have analyst level IBD or high finance experience before coming to school. I'd say whether you do TFA or Big 4 you'll have to take a few additional career steps before breaking into high finance.

Moral of the story, don't plan your life decisions around the MBA. It will work itself out.
