Business School Rankings for Private Equity?

Like the title says, how would you place the top business schools in terms of chances of getting a role in PE?

Rankings online are way too general or simply focused on IB/Consulting recruiting. But for a typical IB Analyst->PE Associate that wants to do PE post-MBA, how would the rankings look like? (beyond just HBS and Stanford which obviously give you the best chance).
