The 17-year-old wants to go to the ETH Zürich and the 15-year-old to HSG St. Gallen.
I know all the admissions requirements, but have many questions about the interpretation of the guidelines. I am in contact with the admission of both schools, but they stay vague on purpose.
Do you know by any chance either a student with an American High school degree who is doing a bachelor's at HSG or ETH? Or do you know a consultant by any chance I could contact?
shows the entry requirements for Swiss universities.
- If your son has dual nationality, i.e. also has Swiss nationality, he "should" be exempted from the assessment test (but that is something the HSG can confirm);
- But he would still need to show equivalency of his high-school diploma.
For the latter:

and you should be able to figure out whether he can get admitted. The problem is that since there is a three year look-back period, the HSG can only really tell if his high school diploma meets the requirements depending on the subjects he actually takes in the last three years.
