I'm looking to understand the support and track record the following funds have for MBA exits of their Associate class - Apax, Advent, CD&R and Warburg Pincus.
Anyone with any specific intel around whether they pay for consultants or any other benefits (say, special relationship with a top school)?

Warburg will sponsor tuition if you go to H/S/W (assuming you are given a return VP offer). Deans of admission for each host info sessions in the office. Technically not required but they highly encourage/are supportive of MBA and good history of placements to each of the three.
Haven’t seen or heard of anyone going outside those three schools.
That’s because people just go do something else instead of MBA if they can’t get into any of those 3
Any insight on if other MFs sponsor (BX, KKR, CG, APO) if you get the return offer?
Bump
Does anyone know anything about the rest of the funds?
Apax sponsors
They do? I heard it's specific to geography
Can only speak to NY
CD&R sponsors. Send 90% to HBS and the rest to Wharton generally.
Think they'll eventually make their way to GSB with a principal and couple partners from GSB?
CD&R has 20 associates per class, there is no way 18 of them are going to HBS.
They don’t have 20 principals coming out of MBA though which is the metric to look at. Not getting sponsored if you don’t get a return offer.
That's not the original question. Question is how many get into HBS, not of how many who get promoted get into HBS. Secondly, 2-3 get promoted a year - you're telling me you have the outcomes for many years if you can give me a number as precise as 90%?
Actual number is around 40-50% jFYI over the L3Y. Others get into GSB, and small proportion get into Wharton (some get a combination of these 3).
Source: work at MF and 3 others from my banking class went to CDR
Last year only 4 applied to HBS and all 4 got in. Believe 3 applied this year and 2 got in (not there anymore, so not exactly sure). Others who weren't staying at CD&R didn't look to business school
So only ~1/3 of the North American class applied?? That seems low; is that typical?
BX doesn't sponsor but if you want to go to H/S and voice it you'll get in.
This isn't true. People from my team went to BX. There have been many cases of BX associates getting into only W, but then recruiting for SM seats afterwards and ditching Wharton for them
Sure, could be the case. Everyone I know from my team that has voiced their desire to go to MBA went to H/S.
Does Advent sponsor? Curious about NYC in particular
No one knows anything about Advent?
Apax sponsors and is generally good with bringing people back, anecdotally believe everyone that applies gets into H/S but that tends to be the case at almost all megafunds
Not true. Know someone who only applied H/S and did not get in and decided to join HF
Advent sponsors if you receive a return offer as a VP. Return offer rates are very low. Placement into HBS is good, less so GSB
Thanks. How are the placements into Wharton?
Pretty much all of the class gets into Wharton
