Indiana vs Lehigh MBA

Hello,

I have gotten accepted to a few schools, and have crossed a few out and I'm now down to my final 2 schools, Indiana and Lehigh for my MBA. I have been working for a trader at an asset management firm for the past 2 years and would like to transition myself into consulting or even IB (I know that is a stretch). 

Indiana has the #1 online MBA program, they offer a ton of networking, career services and even a career ambassador program, they also have a good business school reputation and it seems to be ranked top 20. But, from what I have read on this thread, if you do not get into the IBW (which I cannot since I am an MBA student) it seems like other schools would be a better choice. 

Lehigh has the all round reputation, it is cheaper but they do not offer as much as Indiana does. When I meet a Lehigh grad, I always think to myself "that person must be smart".

At this point in my career looking to become more then what I am right now, do firms care about "the name of the school and its great reputation" (aka Lehigh) Or "how good the business school is"? (Indiana).

Any advice is appreciated. Thank you everyone.

 

Hey wallstreetjunkie69, I think you deserve a response...heck, everyone does. We're listening, sorry about the delay ...my best guess at places on WSO that could help:

More suggestions...

I hope those threads give you a bit more insight.
