UCLA Economics vs CAL Political Economy

Hey WSO members,

I got into Cal as a junior level transfer and my other option would be UCLA. My major at UC Berkeley would be political economy and at UCLA it would economics. If I want to pursue a career in IB or Management Consulting, and location doesn't really matter to me. What school and program would be the best option for someone trying to accomplish these goals

Thanks in advance!!
