Can anyone here shed light on post-MBA PE recruiting?

There's a ton of info on the associate recruiting process, but it would be interesting to hear about experiences recruiting for post-MBA positions (either laterally or out of b school). How do interviews differ and how much do people care about experience vs. name brands? Any tips / advice for an associate heading into business school?
