Hi debayanm,

I were you I wouldn't have put a recco letter in a public forum. Anyways, your professor might have asked you to write a recco but I would suggest that you give him points so that he can build a framework and not give the entire recco on your own. As admissions committee pple are experts in this and would easily find out if you had written the recco or it was written by your recommender only ..

further no weaknesses .. something very rare
Thanks,
Muthu ...

Hi Shwetha,

From my interactions with glakes students I think you would definitely fall into the range of GMAT scores which got accepted. Further its very difficult to predict anybody's chance based on only exp. & GMAT score as nowadays colleges have become more choosy and they look at a profile as a whole which includes wht u have done in at work, ur essays, reccos n everything else ...

Hi
I have a percentile of 90.85
decent acads - 10th = 87%
12th = 82 %

Grad in chinese language= 85%
1) being frm a different field will it help me get a call?
since glakes has chinese language in their orientation lectures. I being specialised at that shouls help.

2) all the wrk ex i hav is freelance which does not qualify for any MBA work ex requirements. Will a mention of that in the essays help in getting a call?

Based on the abve info pls state my chances ...

GLakers, I have a query about the following instruction in recommendation letter:

"Place the completed form in the envelope provided by the candidate. Paste the flap
of the envelope, place your signature / stamp your official seal across the flap of the envelope."

A signature across the flap of the envelope from my recommender will suffice right?
