MBA PE Summers: Consolidated List

Hear ye hear ye. So MBA summers have been brought up fairly often as being concentrated among UMM / MF firms on the forums, but I don't know if anyone's made a consolidated list. So I wanted to open up the floor to get them all in one place. Any details on programs, such as hiring habits (exclusively looking at no-PE experience, or the opposite of exclusively looking at PE-experienced) are more than welcome, but I figured it's good just to get it all down going forward. Please yell at me and point me in the right direction if this has already been done
