University of St.Gallen (HSG) MBF 2014 intake

Hey guys! Anyone accepted so far?? How long do they take to release the decision?

I submitted my application around mid-April and received the admission letter about a week ago. What I am unsure about is whether I got admitted using the 70 or the 80-point rule, as my self-calculated GRE+GPA score was right on the edge (69 or 70 pts depending on which subjects are taken into consideration).

Anyways, apparently it is not uncommon for the decision process to take more than a month; just look at the threads from earlier years.

Ι submitted mine at the beginning of April. Actually my status changed to materielle prufung II ok around 10 April. Could you please tell me your case in order to know what to expect? Thank you.

Solymosi, any idea if there is a facebook group for this years intake?

Thank you for creating a FB group, Solymosi. I just purchase the domain www(dot)MBF2014(dot)com and forwarded the domain to your group adress to make it easier for everyone (the forwarding should become active within the next couple of hours).

I applied somewhere at the end of April and now got a "definitiv zugelassen".

Generally, it takes about 4 weeks to find your status changed on the web portal, if you manage to get direct entry that is. Otherwise it might take up to two or three months. It's worth it though, as the program is intellectually rewarding.

Hey, I submitted my documents around April 10th and last Friday my online status changed to accepted (zugalessen mit vorbehalt). A couple of days ago I received confirmation in the mail. Best of luck!

Accepted yesterday! :D

Dear AbhiJ. First things first, let me clarify that this thread is for MBF and not the HSG MBA program. It is not fair to compare Rotman, LBS MBA fee with this MA program. ( if you had read the course description in detail you will see that MBF is no Masters of science but a Masters of Arts degree)

So the right comparison atleast for fees is the relevant courses. for example you can see that the HSG MBA is not cheap ,it costs 85,000 USD!!!
the HSG mba is a Joke. I have been to the "campus" to attend a few seminars. the HSG MBA "campus" is 2 floors in a 4 floor building. the other 2 floors have other tenants.
It is like a private tuition center, it is puny and tiny given the batch size. Finally they have nothing to do with the HSG University campus. they have their seperate "library" ( 4 cupboards) , cafeteria (1 coffee maschine, 1 vending machine). It is almost a parody of a Bschool. :D

Coming to Living costs, Switzerland is expensive. Refer the big Mac index. CHF is the most overvalued currency. I guess you are from india from your post. Incidently Indian rupe is the most undervalued currency. Not being racist but fact is , CH is expensive for Europeans for you it will be robbery unless of course you are like kutrapali ( from big bang theory) and are vastly weathy !!!
