Best MBA programmes for IB recruiting?

Hi all,

Curious to know at your banks which MBA schools are consistently the most recruited for at the Aso level?

Have a few deferred MBA offers and my current thinking with respect to rankings for IBD is as follows (please correct me if I’m wrong): 1. Harvard / Stanford 2. Wharton 3. Columbia / MIT 4. Booth 5. Kellogg

Understand that some schools recruit more for IBD (Wharton and Columbia) but specifically wondering which schools yield the best result “per application to IBD”. Hard to quantify but good to get some sentiment.

I have offers from all of the above minus MIT, Kellogg, and Harvard in case that helps - any insight much appreciated. Thanks!💪
