catgmat,
Thanks for the reply.
IMD vs St Gallen
I agree that IMD is top tier in Europe (with LBS and Insead), but it is very industry oriented. Something like 75% of the class go to industry and 10-15% to finance. Whereas St Gallen has an outstanding reputation for finance in German speaking countries. I want to work in IM.
Also, IMD starts in January, so January 2010 the soonest. I'd rather start earlier.
LBS
Probably the best European programme for finance, but even with projects and internship, it will cost me a lot more. Still need to think about it though.
Insead
I'm in love with it.
IE/Esade
Very Spain oriented, and there wouldn't probably be as many IM opportunities as with St Gallen, Insead and Oxbridge. On top of that, I don't talk Spanish with not much spare time to learnd : I am busy with applications and and will be with the CFA.
HEC with LBS exchange
Went to an info session last year. I asked how competitive this particular exchange was. Adcom's answer: 4 sits for 10 applicants. Exchange takes place at the end of the programme and applications based on your input during the 1 year. If I start from day 1 with the right attitude for being considered, it should be okay.
Cranfield/Imperial/Warwick
If not the best in the UK (LBS and Oxbridge), I'd rather stay in Ireland (Trinity/Smurfit)

Hi Lumone,
Firstly, I am confident that you will make it into INSEAD or Oxbridge, since you not only have an amazing profile, but also international WE. However, St. Gallen should be on the bottom of your application list. Regarding IMD vs St. Gallen I would still prefer IMD, because it is a well established programme in Switzerland, but waiting for IMD January 2010 is understandable not ideal.
I personally am a big fan of LBS, but unfortunately got dinged by LBS after being waitlisted. I will start at HEC this September and will try to get into LBS exchange. Please contact me, if you need any information about HEC application or exchange with LBS.
All the best for your applications!
Cheers,

Thanks for the compliment.
I know I have lots of international exposure, but except that I'm an average gut, really.
Question on the HEC/LBS exchange: Do HEC students in LBS have access to the full services of LBS' career office?
