I was wondering to what extend are west coast schools (Stanford Business, Haas, Stanford undergraduate (econ or CS), Berkeley undergraduate (econ or cs), Marshal at USC, etc) are represented on Wall Street? Say a company was comparing two applicants, one from an east coast school and one from a west coast school, both with equal grades and test scores, would the east coast applicant get favor?

Linkedin has the answer tot his question.
Linkedin is not that helpful for a question like this. So many schools to compare, at best you'll get a very incomplete data set. Also won't differentiate between people who got "stuck" on the west coast and people who actually wanted to stay.
Honestly depends on which west coast school you're comparing to which east coast school. If it's Stanford, you'll probably get as many looks as anyone (Wharton, Harvard included). Non-business school USC/UCB will struggle a bit. Haas is similar level with most of the other non-Ivy targets (Ross, Darden, etc.); Marshall is at least a tier below. Maybe a bit tougher position than NYU Stern or Columbia just because of their location benefits, but most of the "east coast schools" still aren't located in NYC, so it's not a huge difference. People aren't going to look at the resume and, say, this guy is from the west coast, he can't hang on the east. The alumni network is smaller, sure, but people are mostly aware of where college rankings shake out and the general level of aptitude from a Stanford or Haas student. There's enough spots for non-east coast targets to get in. The only disadvantage is getting your foot in the door networking-wise, but emails/phone calls work fine if you have a strong educational background and resume.
