I know that Lehigh is not a target school but does it help in any way? Are there lots of people from Lehigh in Investment Banking? How is their finance program?

Everyone that I've come across from my fraternity has crushed it on the street.
I hear this might be a good place to work.

decent alumni network, stephanie ruhle went there, cs head of rates sales, and lot of ppl at baml and jpm
While never having attended the school the guys who do get into investment banking from Lehigh tend to be strong on the Street. This is in terms of performance and experience.
The one thing they all had in common was they were massive party people as well (not sure if this is a frat thing or a sampling bias). Mass party guys, which of course isn't a bad thing if you're good.
No one likes extremely uptight people anyway.
Lehigh places fairly well in finance and the alumni on the street are very helpful. PM me if you have any other questions about the school in general.
Thank you guys very much for the answers.
The alumni network is excellent. If you have a strong GPA you'll have a very good shot. OCR is mostly for s&t (as well as some banking) though so networking is crucial.
Plus you'll have so much fun there. Feel free to PM with any specific questions.
Joe Perella would be pissed off if he see you question Lehigh's finance program lol.
How is Lehigh viewed? And how much does transferring complicate matters? (Originally Posted: 06/20/2010)
I'll be transferring to Lehigh and was wondering how it's viewed on the street. I know it's not a target and I'm not trying to delude myself otherwise, but does it carry any sort of (positive) name recognition? How is the alumni network? Does anybody know if any BBs, MMs, or boutiques recruit there? For either banking or s&t? Also, since I'll be a transfer student I assume I'll have additional hurdles to overcome like not having a full four years to establish myself in EC roles - anybody have any tips on how to make myself stand out?
If anybody can help with any of these questions I'd be very appreciative.
Try to go to recruiting events at Penn. You may be able to network and get yourself a foot in the door.
Lehigh is a legit school and has a good alumni network if you work it the right way. PM me if you want to chat, I went there.
Well, I just got home from caddying at a local country club and I caddied for a derivatives trader who started at Merrill lynch, moved to Bear Stearns, and now works at a smaller middle bracket firm. To belong to this country club lets say he must do very very well... He graduated from Lehigh with a degree in business/finance in year 2000 i believe, or the late 90's. So it has definitely been done before and has worked out well. Hope this helps!
i attend lehigh---and got internship at a top french bank ( for trading last summer) looking to get a full time offer in S+T as a junior---otherwise stick out out---apply to BB S+T summer
lehigh is solid in terms of alumni....I've been able to leverage contacts in order to get interviews at major shops---
Lehigh is respected in the Philly/PA region. I know of some math majors who went to SIG out of Lehigh.
Lehgh is solid. I was surprisd at all the alums I have met. All smart guys.

How is Lehigh's undergrad b-school represented on Wall St. ?
The only thing I ever heard about Lehigh is that they have a good accounting program.
Ditto. Lehigh's accounting program is top-notch (used to be #1 in the country, but has since fallen back a bit). All Big 4 firms actively recruit on-campus.
However, for IB and S&T Lehigh struggles quite a bit. A couple BB's and a few props recruit for S&T. Virtually no reputable firms recruit for IB.
what about consulting,do they recruit there?
