MBA Program rankings for ETA/search

by a searcher from University of Pennsylvania - The Wharton School

Does anyone have any rankings of business schools based on the number of searchers they've produced? Details on types of resources offered by various MBA programs to support prospective searchers would also be helpful.

No, but I'll give a shout out to Wharton for recent performance. Raptor, DCI, StaffOne...a bunch of great Wharton-alum deals last year.

From what I've been able to gather, Stanford, HBS, and Booth seem to have the strongest ETA communities. I might be over generalizing, but it seems like GSB has a bias towards the traditional model, HBS towards self-funded, and Booth towards incubated search. Obviously, other schools like Kellogg and Columbia have strong ETA programs as well. What is it like at Wharton?
