Penn consulting prospects?

Hey guys, just want some opinions from Penn students who've been to career fairs and whatnot. I'm trying to choose between Columbia and Penn for grad school pursuing MSE in chem engineering (but that's beside the point). I want to pursue consulting (tech consulting, strategy consulting, I have no real preference at this point) and was wondering if Penn students in general get recruited heavily at firms like Accenture, Deloitte, IBM, etc. Also, is it common for NYC firms to recruit at Penn? I want to work in NYC for a few years after graduation.

Every big consulting firm comes to Penn and sucks up students (it's like 90 minutes away from them, remember). There is a massive annual exodus of recent Penn grads to NYC.

Check out the Penn Club Of New York too
