UCLA Anderson / USC Marshall MBA for Buy Side in LA area ?

Anyone know if these MBA programs are good for someone seeking to find a buy-side analyst job at an asset manager or hedge fund in the LA area? Do these firms actively recruit out of these schools?

 

Agree on UCLA being better than USC. Definitely plenty of funds that will recruit out of UCLA and it's one of the best options on the West Coast... though obviously Palo Alto gets preference over everyone out here.

Concur with the above...I've covered some PM's & analysts on the left coast who are graduates from UCLA Anderson. I can only recall one coming out of USC Marshall. Just my .02
