Indeed both are regional schools but I would believe that St Gallen is a couple of notches higher in perception. One of the things which St Gallen has to its advantage is its location. Since Switzerland is home to a lot of big organizations-for and non-profit, the chances of getting the kind of job...

Congratulations on this great achievement. The situation in the US is not good at the moment so IIMC looks a very prudent decision.

Yeah, I've already kicked off with Aristotle SC and the first section covers the grammar required I think. Thank you for the tips. Are you targeting Fall 2012 or 2013 ?

@Del
Thank you for the debrief. You surely beat the GMAT.
I'd like to hear from you about your opinion about the difficulty level of actual GMAT Verbal section. I have heard that the questions in SC have become lengthier and RCs have become really difficult. Would like to know your feedback.

Eternal Optimists, I couldnot agree more about your comments of people on FB. The kind of videos and pictures people are putting these days is just pure crap and shows the intellectual hollowness of people. AbhiJ, I think that terming people who are on Facebook intellectually hollow is not good. I ...

Awesome debrief and great tips. Did you actually complete 1000SC fully ? I don't think that doing 1000SC is recommended at all. I don't see any point of doing questions after question until and unless you don't spend time reading the explanations. And unfortunately, 1000SC document doesn't have exp...

Inspirational story! Respect to you,Sir! I had two questions. 1.Given the fact that you are already well settled in life,I was just curious to know why the plan to take the GMAT at this point in life ? 2.Secondly,do you think purchasing e-gmat will be able to add any extra value given the fact that ...
