strength of alumni networks in business and finance

How strong are various alumni organizations (considering both size and prestige)? A friend suggested the following. Is it a reasonable generalization?

1st group: HBS

2nd group: Stanford and Wharton

3rd group: Kellogg, Booth, Sloan, Tuck, Columbia, Harvard Law (considering the business branch of its alumni network), McKinsey, LBS, and INSEAD

4th group: Haas, Stern, Ross, Yale, and Duke

How strong are the alumni networks of each of the BB IBD, BCG, and Bain? Are they strong enough for networking purposes?

It's also about the value of your alumni networks. From reading threads on this and other finance websites Tuck alumni really put in that extra effort to help you.
