Haas
Ross
Darden
Fuqua
Johnson
Trying to narrow my list down for applications in the fall. I am thinking about applying to 2 or 3 of the 5, but there doesn't seem to be much information around online as far as which are the best for IB placement.
Location both during the MBA program and after don't matter too much to me.
Thank you

specialxknc22, no offense or anything, but we kinda had to laugh at the characterization that these are "2nd tier programs". Haas in particular is incredibly selective; it's usually harder to get in there than it is at Wharton or Columbia.
Placements and relationships depend a LOT on a) what do you mean by IB and b) what level (or "tier" we'll say) of bank are you targeting?
Just as an example, BAS-ML has been building connections at Cornell in the past few years and we've been seeing lots of Johnson people end up there. Same with DB.
If you want to go into S&T then you need to go into a more straight-up finance school (Booth, Wharton, Columbia, maybe MIT).
Geography matters a lot too. You say that location doesn't matter, but it does. There's obviously a helluva lot more IB jobs available in NYC. It's not as easy to make it to Wall Street from a California school (unless the name of the school starts with an "S"). If you want to maximize your chances of breaking into ibanking, then that's an important factor to keep in mind.
Anyway, the best source of data is the schools themselves. You really should be reaching out to them directly for this stuff.
