hi Guys,
Thanks for the numerous mails & messages ….
i have some scoop regarding the admissions of the incoming class (Class of 2009):
- The class size is likely to be 40 participants (up from 35 of the present class).More than half of this number (> 20) have already enrolled and many are in the process of confirming their participation.
- While there are 5 more seats available this year, there has been a 5 fold increase in applications compared to last year.
- The average GMAT of the students admitted is around 710.
- With an objective to ensure a diverse international participant mix, country specifuc quotas of a max 5-7 students from one nation are in place. As a result highly competitive applications (with good work experience and GMATs of 730-740+) from Americans, Indians and Germans have been turned away.
- There is a discussion about cancelling the 4th admission round (June 1 deadline) as the target enrollment is likely to be achieved by the 3rd deadline (April 1).
(Meanwhile, Steve Riley has replaced heiko as the admissions manager.)
Hope this helps!
cheers
Stuart
p.s. : Many of you have written to me about the forum HSG. I will publish a post soon on that.
Hi Stuart, I was interviewed yesterday by Uni St Gallen and the interview went quite well. They told me that I have a good chance, considering the fact that I have been invited for an interview among an extremely talented pool of applicants. What do you think? Does St. Gallen interview a lot of people even though take only 40? At least in the US, they call you for an interview if they are 90% sure that you are a good candidate.
