I would like to enter the Asset Management industry in the future and I am looking for schools that would place well in them. Aside from the obvious HBS and Wharton how do other schools fare in Asset/Investment Management like Booth, Dartmouth Tuck, Stern, Ross, Cornell, Kellogg etc.
Thanks

Booth hands down...not even close. I'd give Stern some consideration purely due to its location.
If you want to do AM, don't waste your time at Kellogg, Ross etc.
Stanford doesn't place well in Asset Management?
Stanford does fine in asset management. Pimco and Capital Group are active recruiters, if that kind of firm interests. Of course, they are both west coast firms. Professor Berk teaches a very cool institutional money management class, and you cannot miss Jack McDonald's investment mgt and entrepreneurial finance class
One school that punches above its weight in asset management is Darden, because of its connection with Paul Tudor Jones.
tuck doesn't place well in Boston ?
Doesn't Sloan place well in AM? I had the idea that it's really strong in AM in the Northeast, while Booth in the Mideast. Wharton everywhere.
Sloan places really well in AM. Look at how many mutual-funds that are in the greater Boston region. Not to mention grads placing in New York.
Booth, sloan, columbia, tuck, all get on-campus recruiting from the major IM firms. Booth and sloan are also strong in quant hedge funds while columbia is strong with long-short and deep value hedge funds. Sloan's location is ideal for IM, and there's a bit less competition since so many people there are interested in tech, vc, startups. Of course, IM is one of the toughest post-mba fields to get into. The major players will usually hire no more than 2-3 MBAs per year nationwide.
Snap I forgot to mention Haas. Is Haas worth applying to for AM? Also is there a link to see which major IM firms do OCR for which specific programs/schools?
From my experience on the interview trail the past two years (graduating from Booth in a week), Booth and Wharton seem to dominate with the most final rounds. You also see a lot of Columbia kids and the occasional HBS/Tuck/Haas person. I'm sure there are plenty of MIT kids running around the Fido/Wellington interviews as well but I wasn't looking there. I've done a healthy amount of interviewing and the only top program I didn't come across someone from was Stanford... literally not a single person. Are they all going into VC/PE or what?? Who knows... anyways, the above is for long-only shops (didn't recruit for HFs).
