Hi I am Ashwin- First time in the thread.
My this Year's CAT %le was 83 and in 2003 it was 96 can I apply with
previous percentile if no can I apply with this years percentile as well
as take GET and expect that the better one of the two will be taken.
Also I might not be able to quit the company before June so what
was something like Deffered admission mentioned on the FAQ's page.
Kindly Reply as there is very little time left.

Hi Ashwin,
As far as Deffered Admission, it is not as easy as it is in the US uiniversities. Only under very exceptional circumstances, one can defer it to next year. And in your case, you very well know that you cannot quit before June. So why applying in the first place?

indian bank gives int @ 9% to students of great lakes. i have got my loan sanctioned from them and this is the best deal that i was getting. so u may mention that u r seeking loan from indian bank. the amount for which u r applyig the loan has to be mentioend here with the break ups.
2.Keeping in minf my profile as given above..which referees shud I select...that is what kind...since mine is a startup..i guess u know how it is..no proper hierarchy as such..although manager and kind of boss is there...plz advise
it would be nice if u can get one recomedation from ur coll prof and the second one from any 1 i ur organization.
3. are the referees supposed to fill by hand????? where will they get that much time??
ideally it should happen the way u have menioned above. however if in ur case if it is not possible ave a talk to the autority at great lakes , i am sure they will cooperate with u.
4. in reco section...personal contact(referee) could be what kind of people...
here u have to meniot the name of the ppl whom ur taking the recommnedatios from.

Hi Guys,
This is really important. I took CAT this year and did some silly mistakes and ended up gettin arnd 97 %ile. Got a call from IMT-G but not interested in going there. I am currently working wid a software giant in Gurgaon.
Can I apply for GLIM now. If yea, what are my prospects of getting thru?
Please lte me know asap. Need to make arraangements for the same.
Cheers!!!
Hi CAT06Cracker
The Second Phase of Admission at Great Lakes are still going on and hence you can definetly apply for the same.
The Prospects :
Admission in Great Lakes is based on your Overall Application, Reccos, Essays, Past Academic Records, Work Ex,GD and PI besides the aptitude test score(in your case CAT).
Your work ex and CAT Score would stand you in advantage and if your perform well on other parameters you stand a good chance to making it to Great Lakes.
All the very Best, I hope i was able to answer your query!!!

Hi CAT06Cracker
You can apply in two ways:
1. Send a DD of 900/- to Great Lakes Chennai, you will be sent the complete application packet.
2. You can also apply online using Credit Card, where in you can pay the reqd amount and download the application form.

Thanks boss,
Hey one thing more what was the cutoff last year for the course?
Thanks in advance
cheers!!!
Hey
As i mentioned earlier there is nothing like a specific cut off...But may be Seniors can help you with this Query, as i have no idea till what percentile people were called or like wise...
In your case though with 97 percentile, it shouldnt be a problem to get a call for GD/PI. Rest depends on your performance
All the best

Hi ManikPls help me out buddy. i got 84.81%ile in CAT, i hv 7 mths of work experience,decent acads except grads(b.com. 58.5),not gr8 deal of extra curric..... how good a chance do i stand .......wether my CAT scr good enough to apply or i should write gr8 lakes' test............pls reply yaar its really imp fa me..i don wanna sit bk fa anoder yearthanking u in advanceregards khevan
Hi Khevan
As i said the final admit isnt just based on CAT scores or your acad scores and hence your performance on other parameters plays an equally imp role.
On flip side, your grad score i.e 58.5 % seems to be low, and i have no idea if theres a min grad percentage reqd for admission.Seniors please help regarding the same.
About CAT i would suggest, its your call whether you sit for GET or go with your CAT score...Though my take would be to compensate for your low graduation score, work really hard and score high in GET..which can then be highlighted over grad percentage.
End of the Day its your call based on your preperation...

Hi,
I am looking for the usual generic questions asked both in the admission form, or wherever else....something wrong to discuss or get help in that? understandaby the answers etc would have a personal touch but still the genral structure can be discussed i guess...nothing more.....why else do people ask others to post their gd/pi interview experiences or other things?
cheers

hi seniors,
can you pls throw some light on the placements for your batch...how is the 2nd phase placements going..
till now around 80 have been placed..still around 40 remain..the 2nd phase is expected to gain momentum by march 1st week. the people remaining unplaced have very specific requirements and hence its not possible for getting all companies to come on a sme day. for eg: some students got roles in audit firms but did not take it up as they wanted a corp finance role. will update u guyz once we reach the 3 digit mark
