Hey guys,
I've recently been admitted to both St Gallen's SIM and LBS's MiM, and I'm a bit undecided on which to choose.
To give some background, I'm Italian and I've just finished undergrad at Bocconi (int. econ and finance). Have lots of international experience but not much professional. I don't have a precise career goal yet, although I'm leaning more towards MBB over IB, and would like to first do some more internships (including one in the next few months) to try out different areas and improve my profile.
These are my views as of now:
LBS pros:
- great global reputation and brand, possibly stronger student profiles
- stronger network in general and in Italy too
- London location
- like the courses a bit more
LBS cons:
- biggest one: 1 year program (extendable a few months): not in a mad rush to start work, and would like to go for some more internships
-more expensive (45k GBP)
St Gallen pros:
- longer program so more time for internships
- small, tight knit group
- great prospects in DACH
- lower tuition (13k CHF), but one year more of living expenses
St Gallen cons:
- biggest one: don't speak German
- overall seems slightly less strong than LBS?
Right now I'm tilting towards LBS, but what would your opinions be?
Thank you!!!

Congratulations on your admits!
I think the question is not only about German but also where you will be recruiting. Are there opportunities in Switzerland? I where will you look for a job afterwards?
I would consider that side.
About internships, sounds like you have a few already and having 2 or 4 is not going to really make a lot of diff. Would you rather 4 old Fiats or 1 new Ferrari? I would say try to get a really strong internship - that’s all it takes! Just 1 😇
PS. I think LBS is a solid choice. An extra year of not making income and high living costs will more than offset LBS cost.
PPS. With LBS Play time is over 😂 it gets pretty serious now. You will have to start recruiting immediately as you start the program or better, even before. 😬
