University of St.Gallen (HSG) MBF 2012 intake

@sk8e
Congrats man!
It'll be a tough ask. I'm not sure whether a decision will be made within next 2 weeks but almost certain that it will be made by the end of April.

Hey sk8e congratulations on the RSM admit. It's definitely a target school for studying finance. Hope you hear from HSG soon

Hey guys,
I'm still waiting for some news from Gallen. By the way, I'm exploring other options where i can apply for finance or management programs. Can anyone help me with the names of top business schools outside France and CH that are still accepting applications.
Till now, I have Mannheim and Uni Frankfurt as options. Don't know which one is better.

Hey Ronnie,

Mannheim is always Nr.1 on the rankings and I think its reputation is better in Germany than Uni Frankfurt. But both are real good universities.

Any status updates at your applications guys? Mine is still "formally complete".

cheers

Thanks for the information.
My status changed to " materielle prufung II ok" on March 20. I'll be surprised if I don't get a decision by April 20.

Hi all!

I'm a last-minute applicant, but still hope to succeed:)

I just wonder, what kind of proof I can present for social project I participated in? (We just got grant for project and all information I have-number of pictures and article on foundation website, cuz the creator of the project holds the certificate, and even there names are not listed).

Also what should be included in letter from my employer? My CEO is St. Gallen alumna, but I'm not sure that it is appropriate to include this information...

I would appreciate any advice!

Hi Stacey,
You can simply provide participation certificate.
The letter from employer should atleast state your role and duration of employment.
Hope it helps!
By the way, please share you profile with us.

Hey ronnie,

thank you! I'll try to get this certificate.. Do you think they are very strict with proof?

My profile:
22, GMAT 700, GPA 4.97/5.00 in economics, 1.5 international experience (semester abroad & gap year working in China), german & chinese intermediate level

Though NO financial experience (I'm marketing analyst in health care swiss company), and I'm not sure my profile fits

There is no question of being strict or lenient. They'll believe the contents of your CV only if you provide relevant documents as proof. Simple as that.
You are a very strong candidate. International work-ex and foreign language will get you extra points.

Hello all

I'll be sending my application package on tuesday (thank you Fedex) but I just wanted to make sure of one thing.

Can somebody confirm that, for the MBF, there is NO NEED to do the crediting application?

In that case, how does StG decide what extra courses you will have to do? Just by looking at the transcripts?

Thank you

Hi rbertosuccoo,
As stated in my previous posts, there is no need for crediting application for MBF applications. The admissions will determine the number of required supplementary courses based on the basket solution (check website). If you have done undergrad in business or economics, you'll probably end up with no or very few supplementary courses.
Best of luck!

Alright, that clears it up, thanks a lot.

Cheers

Hi, everyone, I think St.gallen will begin to release the offer this week. Best wishes to all of us.
I will have the APS interview next Monday. (Actually it's mandatory if Chinese students apply schools in Germany, Austria and Belguim. But HSG also requires this certificate for 2012 intake ) My friend got interviewed last Wednesday. When beiing asked what's your motivation to study in Germany, She answered I'm gonna to study in Switzerland for business. The interviewer smiled and answered, then it must be St.Gallen.

Hey guys,

i am applying as well to the MBF and will be submitting my application materials today. I have a question concerning the GRE and TOEFL. I took both tests last year and was not selecting St. Gallen as a recipient of my test scores. In fact, I was not picking any school back then, as I was not sure where I wanted to apply.

Recently, I read on the website, that the application will not be considered if the application is incomplete by the deadline. So if ETS does not send in the scores by April 30th, does it mean they won't consider my app? I ordered the additional test scores on Saturday (21st April).

My profile male, 24, gre Q:780, gpa 1.4/5.0, german undergrad! I will send them a copy of my scores of course, but hope they won't kill my app if my test scores don't get in by the 30th. Usually the schools ask to hand in official reports only if you get admitted. That's why I just made a stupid general assumption -.-

kind regards,
jaffna

Hey ronnie thanks for replying that fast,

I tried to call them, but they just operate the telephone line from 8-11 a.m.. Therefore, I won't get a definite answer today. However, I checked the ETS website and it says the following: •Score reports will be mailed to you and to your designated institutions approximately five business days after your request.

Not being a native English speaker I do not understand if that means the score report will be reaching the school in approx. 5 days or whether they have processed my request and merely send out the report by then, meaning that shipping time in not included and has to be added on top of the aforementioned 5 business days. Since I requested on Saturday... there are 6 business days inbetween -.-
