Think it may depend on which areas of AM you want to enter as the different schools have different reputations / heritage which may cause self-selection bias by students and varied pipelines to different firms.

Sloan is probably the strongest in quantitative AM, CBS the strongest in traditional equity L/S (the home of value investing after all) and Booth probably the strongest academically and somewhere in between CBS and Sloan.
