Hello Puys...Congrats to all the GDPI Call Getters::clap:
Seems like there is no specific thread dedicated to Great Lakes GD+PI Session for 2012-2013. So starting the same.
Lets continue the discussion constructively as we move along this thread:cheerio:
Here are the links to the last years threads:

So lets start and get our hands dirty...

To start with....let me first enumerate some special PI questions we can expect from an institute like Great Lakes (PGPM):

1. Why a 1yr MBA will be beneficial for you than a regular 2yr course??
2. Questions from our Profile sheet essays...we should remember what we have written!!!
3. What made you to choose Mr. X or Mr. Y as your recommender??
4. Your recommender says this about you..."blah...blah...blah" (you may or may not know what your Recommender has written about you in the reco-sheet)....What you have to say in support of this???
(so safeguard against these type of questions!!!)

Thats all for now from my end...please come forward with your valuable inputs...cheers!:cheers:

Ok...any idea about the GD+PI process?? is it the sterotype gd+pi?? i am still to read the last years threads though....i think we will get a bit of idea about the process...

Check Pages 238, 241, 245 in the other thread (....class of 2013.. thread) given quite descriptively..

Some recent and good GD topics:


Why This Kolaveri Di?
Anna Hazare and related campaign against corruption.
Should the older ppl in Indian Cricket team quit?
FDI in Retail.
Communal quotient in elections.
Valentine's day - Is India completely westernized?
IPL - Boon or a bane.
Should Govt. control Internet and it's content?


Will keep adding more..

Would be great if R2 Admits add\update their profile in the below link :
