Guess last time round too it had come to this level. Around 80+. That's what think the unkindmonk had mentioned in an earlier post . And this time the percentiles were higher ( avg 97 +), so chances of multiple converts are high.
neways , keepin fingers crossed for the final placement report.

Currently, the IT industry is beginning to take the impact of the US recession. No fresh hiring is happening across designations.....i just wanted to know, how this is going to affect recruitment at Great Lakes one year down the line.....given that the subprime crisis is starting to affect other sectors too....please reply and thanks in advance...

Well its not only Great Lakes who will feel the impact however i agree some impact can not be ruled out. Its all the more important for you guys who are coming on board to ensure that companies visiting campus get more varied......an effort which we have been making since last year. Also initiatives like increased corporate branding, regular interactions and a cohesive and proactive effort from the batch along with the management will see through any rough patch as and when it arises. .....

Cheers
