I see you leaning towards British schools in your recent posts. However, if you plan on going to Switzerland, there's simply no way around considering HSG St. Gallen.
Judging from a finance and consulting perspective, I would say that it's definitely recognized as the best university in German speaking Europe (IMD is in the French part of Switzerland). All top I-Banks recruit there, and if you get good grades you will surely find a job in your desired field (keeping in mind that most European offices actually care about your grades, not just the school you went to).
To reassure you: The university hosts the most prestigious career fairs in German speaking Europe - the Investment Banking Days and the Forum HSG.
https://www.investmentbankingdays.com/index.html (who's who of I-Banks)
https://www.forumhsg.ch/index.php?id=29&L=2 (120 companies, everything from McK to UBS)
Both of these are organized by students - the school is big on extracurricular activities. Plus, the Career Services Center is fantastic.
I have absoluetly no clue why HSG's reputation isn't reflected in the rankings of FT et al., but talk to any recruiters in Switzerland, Germany, or Austria, or look at the number of top managers in these countries who are HSG alumni and you'll see that it's an excellent choice (if not your best bet considering your search criteria). Furthermore, the professors are top notch, most of them are the authors of the most widely used German text books in their fields.
P.S. I remember somebody on the BusinessWeek forum posting about his MBA experience at HSG, I'm sure you can ask him any MBA specific questions you might have. One thing is for sure: the University has an excellent reputation. And if you move to Switzerland you'll save taxes and get a higher salary compared to Germany

Hi Diplo,
Thanks for your reply and good word about St. Gallen.
I made my decision to apply there a couple months ago along with INSEAD. I still need to visit both schools, so I think the "campus feel" will ultimately determine my decision.

- a definite possibility ...
Another personal circumstance was St. Gallen's proximity to home. Unfortunately, my family won't be able to join me while I study; so, I want to be close to them as possible, but at a good program nevertheless.
