Any of the Ivies - if I had to choose personally I would go for Columbia University.
Yes ivies such as Cornell and YSOM have awesome placement into PE and VC in NYC -_-
probably best bet are HSW Chicago MIT and Columbia
Should we add NYU to the list?
should definitely focus your efforts on harvard and stanford for PEVC
If he doesn't already know this, then his odds of getting into PE/VC post-MBA are pretty slim.
@OP -- what are you doing now? Are you hoping to break in immediately after business school? Are you applying this year?
Of course,I know this, but I should have other schools in the pool - in case I will be rejected in HBS and Stanford.
I am applying in 2014 or 2015.
