Germany’s economic strength has made it a growing force when it comes to attracting business school applicants.

For the first time, the country was among the top 10 destinations where GMAT test takers sent their test scores, according to recently released 2012 testing data from the Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC). In addition, more German nationals are opting to stay home for their MBA, rather than heading straight for programs in the U.S. and U.K., and Germans now sit for more GMAT exams than any other European citizen group.
