Hi,
The shortlisting of candidates is done based on ur overall profile, work ex, CAT or GMAT score, essays and recos.
Each has its own weightage. After the shortlisting, performance in GD/PI is also taken into account.
So make sure u get ur recos from people who could giv a fair idea abt u.

Cheers,
GLaker

Hi PB,

Great job so far . lemme introduce myself, Prashanth a junior pioneer and a long time Pgite. I would request you to confine the discussions and gyaan abt great lakes to the existing threads on great lakes rather than creating new ones for each year which really destroys the purpose. The best way to dissipate information would be to continue ramblings abt life @ great lakes in the great lakes thread and admission queries at admissions@great lakes thread. we all know too well that too many cooks spoil the broth .
Just a suggestion.

Regards,
Prashanth

Hi abhishek,

We r not looking at absolute scores or cutoffs.
The shortlisting of candidates is done based on ur overall profile, work ex, CAT or GMAT score, essays and recos.
Each has its own weightage. After the shortlisting, performance in GD/PI is also taken into account. There are lot of ppl with around 2 yrs of work ex. So ur profile and the above criterias will be the deciding factor.

Hope this would hav answered ur query.


Cheers,
GLaker
