Tuck/Sloan/Stern/Haas/LBS

How would you guys rank these schools for someone interested in doing HF or IM afterwards? They are all great schools but not in the finance powerhouse of hbs/wharton/booth/columbia. And each has its strengths and weaknesses compared to the others.

Wow. Surprised that you guys rank stern so low for buyside jobs, even though it's known as a finance school and is located in the heart of NYC. Is it that much worse than columbia when it comes to IM and HF recruiting? Would it be a mistake to take stern over tuck or haas simply because of the location?

 
futurectdocYes, it would be. Stern places alright into IB and has been on the decline for a number of years, however their buyside placement is not that great, also there is a huge IM presence in Boston. Tuck's network is apparently amazing.

How has Stern been on the decline? I thought they are a solid top 10-12 program with good finance placement?
