Top BB positions and semi-target MBA programs.

All,

I was never in need of an MBA, but now I'm thinking of applying. Obviously, it has to be worth the money. I graduated from a target non-ivy ugrad and went into a mid-level ibank.

Not sure what I want to do post-MBA, but let's assume I stick with what I now know best and attempt to go to a bulge or EB corp fin bank, hopefully to specialize in advisory and not u/w.

Now, the top 10 b-school programs are cut and dry - any school be it Booth, NW, Columbia, Tuck, Wharton, MIT, etc., would place student well into IB. However, given the unpredictability of the admissions process, suppose I end up with admittance to the programs ranked from 10-to-20. Specifically, I'm wondering about: UNC, Darden (I know there's a fat thread about them on the board, but still), Fuqua, Ross, Anderson and possibly Carnegie Mellon. I'm sure these programs place well into MMs and boutiques and maybe mid-level bulges, but what about top shops? Do any BBs like GS / MS even go to these campuses? Or have a certain preference for one of these schools?

Lastly, how many people have you seen in the top associate positions from some of these places?

Would appreciate the help.
