summer of 2013. Who's left?

With this recruiting season being a little unorganized compared to prior years i was hoping we could get a list started of who has finished their process, who is in process and who has yet to start. My personal knowledge is west coast, but what I've heard is below:

Finished: Oaktree Silver Lake Leonard Green

In process: TA Associates Levine leichtman Marlin equity

Still to go: KKR Carlyle Ares

If someone has the most recent gobuyside update that would help. Please add to list as much as possible

How are you getting this info - just based on your own recruiter dialogues?

"There are three ways to make a living in this business: be first, be smarter, or cheat."
 

Think your list might be wrong but here's what I have.

Still to go: - Huntsman Gay - Kohlberg - Oaktree (PE and distressed) - Onex - Reservoir - Sageview

People tend to think life is a race with other people. They don't realize that every moment they spend sprinting towards the finish line is a moment they lose permanently, and a moment closer to their death.
 

Yes. Although these are on my school's job board and some of these funds do come to school.(Those I listed.) We have a pretty big PE cohort here. Most of my friends get inbound inquiries though from either search firms (Glocap, Oxbridge, etc.) or headhunters directly due to prior PE exp.
