New user so can't post the link...
Want to make the big bucks at a hedge fund or another hotshot AM firm? A diploma from U Penn is your best bet as an undergraduate. If you're getting an MBA, it's U Chicago. And if you graduated in 2010 or later, Columbia is the top feeder school to have on your resume. That's according to a new ranking of where employees of asset management firms went to school by eVestment. The report draws from a data set of more than 35,000 professionals—mostly PMs, analysts and other investment-focused roles—from more than 4,500 AM firms, mostly hedge and mutual funds. The average age was 47. Top schools for working in Asset Management

Wonder why USC is so high? I guess if average age is 47, they got their MBA 20 years ago when it was more prestigious.
I thought USC's prestige was rising? Though I am mostly basing this of undergrad when I was looking at schools awhile back.
B-school completely collapsed, and is ranked ~29 now, and had the worst placement rate of the top 30 (only 2/3 found jobs). They sugar coat is by saying its turn-over in the OCR and students really wanting to stay in Cali...but plenty of other schools have OCR turn-over and students who want to stay in the region (e.g. the other 3 cali schools) and don't have those issues.
