Hjort,
I've read at many places on the web that it is easier to get an IB job from a non-core finance school than a core-finance school - in terms of competition for the fixed number of places available i.e.
For example, it's easier for a guy to land an Sales & Trading (IB) intership at Michigan because of the relatively lesser number of students interested in this than at, say, NYU/Chicago where a huge proportion of it's student body is geared towards IB.
Ofcourse, banks to take in more students from NYU/Chicago than from Michigan. However, the numbers don't rise enough to lessen the competition.
what's your take on this?

It's an interesting theory and there might be a little bit of truth in the idea. For example, it can be hard for people hoping to move into finance to attract the attention of recruiters at one of the major finance schools when they are competing against fellow students with several years of experience in that specific field. A major problem with the theory is that the top finance schools (Columbia, Chicago, Penn) have a number of strengths across many different fields. Thus, students at these schools have a broad choice of careers beyond finance.
In addition, it is important to keep in mind that the strongest finance schools often place several times as many students at the major finance firms as the schools in the top clusters that are not as strong in finance.

Add some non-core school like Tuck or Michigan ?!
