Wall St. MBA Rankings?

Interested in people's thoughts from people in the know/work on Wall St. in NYC in IN, Pe, or Hedge Funds.

If you had to rank MBA programs by number of people represented IN Finance jobs on Wall Street in NYC (investment bankers, traders, pe, hedge funds), how would you rank the top 15 or top 25 MBA programs?

What would the ranking be if we changed the ranking criteria to the likelihood earning an MBA from a specific MBA program would allow you to land a job on Wall Street in NYC (investment banking/pe/hedge funds)?

Also, for each ranking, I would love to see the ranking broken out into tiers - sample could be something like:
1. Highly Represented/Very Likely
2. Decent Representation/Decent Likelihood
3. Moderate Representation/Doable, But Requires Extra Effort vs Those Ranked Above it
4. Almost No Representation/Possibility, But Requires a Not-Insignificant Amount of Luck, Along with Hard Work to Earn a Job on Wall Street
5. No Representation (or only a handful such that the representation is basically zero)/Almost No Shot to Work on Wall St in NYC unless you work extremely hard and have an extreme amount of luck/lucky connections

And finally, what would you say would be the maximum age cutoff generally speaking for someone to earn a job in Wall St in NYC in IB, PE, or Hedge Funds? (Age securing an internship/age starting to work the job on Wall St in NYC?)
Is the answer different if you have prior Finance experience, like FP&A?
