Seconding this post: for top quant spots at all the desirable places in major markets as well as the jobs one notch down, the student needs to do Econ at one of the 14 schools(or math heavy business for the subset that have undergrad business, eg Wharton). It is also possible to get top spots at the schools outside that 14, ie the list of schools that follow the 14.
