I haven't heard of HLL. St. Gallen is a very good school if you want to work in Switzerland post graduation. How good is your German? You have to speak it if you want to increase your employment opportunities in Switzerland. St. Gallen will not take you too far if you want to relocate somewhere else after graduation.

Thanks yaar. But HHL, is Leipzig Graduate school of Mangement, in Germany. Frankly speaking you are true to the answer. What I also found out of st.gallen is may be it it a good school but not too sure about its future prospects. Yet after having a chat with different alumni of HHL,what I found out is that they are slow but very very steady. They have come up in their international ranking and giving good prospect to the employers have also increased their ranking in Employer's Choice of favourite Bschool(topmba site).
It doesn't shout much but does what is required for it's students to get job.
I have also got the offer from Hult business school(99 in FT), but to me cost is huge.
I have got also in SDA bocanni today. Now it is really a hard factor to choose from the choices.
Cost, reputation,future prospect and ROI, some of the factors that needs to look into.
Please if some thoughts in this?

Personally, I would choose St. Gallen. The MBA program is still not ranked because it's quite new but I am sure it will pick up soon. Also, what do you want to do post graduation? I am interested in finance and that's perceived as St. Gallen's strength. If you are interested in general management or entrepreneurship I do not really know how it ranks compared to the other two. Also, I know St. Gallen class is pretty small and your post MBA network will probably be relatively small as well. Good luck!

Hi there,
I would clearly prefer St. Gallen. Besides Mannheim and WHU, they offer the best MBA education in the German speaking world. HHL is a very young and small school. One of their major problems is their location. Leipzig is far awy from being a business center and the Eastern part of Germany is still not very attractive for foreigners to work and live.
Best,
JL

its true that Leipzig is a new school, that has yet to prove itself, but i wouldn't say that the city is not attractive to foreigners - it is cheap, beautiful, and full with students. but it is true, it is not known as a business center anymore(it was quite an important one in the past).

well, being in a town that is a trade center is a great plus - it opens up career options, and makes it easier to find a good internship place. if you are concerned about the school,you should look at the companies recruiting there, and try to find as much as you can about the alumni network and the career service. about the salary - you can look at the ratings - some of them offer information about the increase in salary to be expected, but this is not a reliable data, as it is based on information coming from the alumni of the school directly.....

Thanks andy. Just to enquire further where to get this datas? There is no co in the world that advertise their salary on net and no alumni in the world would like to share their salary in public. It is obvious that it would contain water. Now to get this data.
Again I donot know about germany but in different parts of the world companies visit to the institute to get students, being the place business centric ir not.

I don't really know, but something along the lines of why the MBA from St. Gallen and why now, and then something that will trip us up like, "what CEO do you most admire?" etc. type quesions. I have 7 years of work experience with the last three in biotech sales and marketing. I own a business english language school, have a master's in psychology, and 650 gmat score, which is near the bottom of what they like of course! :) anyway, I don't know if I have anything else to share with you and not much advice or help. sorry. Oh, I'm American also, where are you from?
