It does, but those placement numbers are for internal consumption only, I'm afraid.
Based on the data I provided earlier, which once again is about a month old and reflects the # of acceptances only (and not # of offers) I can however tell you that the #1 company hired 11 more MBAs than the #20 company. So the range in the number of MBAs hired by the top #1 company and the #20 company is not as drastic as what you guessed.
Keep in mind that the top 20 hired only about 35% of the entire class. This should tell you that there are a lot more companies hiring just one or two Stern MBAs.
With regards to GS and UBS particularly, not sure why GS comes as a surprise. I'm told its recruiting process is probably the most involved and intense as far as jobs at investment banks go, and thus I figure only a handful of people go through. UBS, I can give a more informed answer. Unless I am mistaken, UBS shows up relatively lower on that list because the U.S. offers it made were overwhelmingly for their Research and Trading divisions, both of which hire significantly fewer people than say IBD.
Of course, it's also possible that a bunch of people simply turned down their GS/UBS offers and decided to go elsewhere. And yes, people do turn down offers from GS as well, although I reliably only know of one who did so (good friend of mine - international). I do know another girl who summered at GS but isn't going back, but I'm not that friendly with her to know precisely whether it's because she turned them down, or she got no-offered at the end of the summer.
AmEx and Deloitte have in recent years always been among the top recruiters at Stern. Very strong NYU Stern alumni networks there and they really go all out during on-campus recruiting.
Slightly more than half of all students get offers through formal on-campus recruiting, another fifth to a quarter I would guess through other school-initiated programs like job fairs, alumni cocktails, or club networking nights, a tenth probably either go back to their old employers or start their own ventures, and I guess the remainder really just swing it through their own individual networking efforts. There we go - hopefully I got everything, xiao85yu!
Now that all my grades are in, I can officially claim to be an MBA! I will indeed, as 3underscore pointed out, be leaving to travel around the world for the next couple of months, so my participation in this thread is probably coming to an end. Nonetheless, you should all feel free to reach out to the Graduation Ambassadors at Stern Admissions directly if you have questions - there's usually a couple of cool new graduates working over the summer there.
Good luck to those waiting, and congratulations to the Class of 2013! Hopefully your experience at Stern will be as memorable as mine.

No problem, I was just wondering if Stern released the numbers for the placement? does it go from 40 recruits from #1 to 4 at #10?
As far as BB recruiting goes, I'm a bit surprised that Goldman and UBS are so low on the list - I didn't expect Deloitte or Amex to be so high. do most people get their interviews through interviews scheduled through the career office or is it really up to the candidate to get proactive?
