As always..late here too..
10th : 74%, U.P.Board, Hindi Medium
12th : 70%, U.P.Board, Hindi Medium
B.Tech: 68%, Mechaical Engg., JSS Noida
Workex:3 years
CAT 05:
95 %tle, no calls
CAT 06:
98.93%tle
calls: I & K
Result: Waitlisted I. (Coneverted 5-6 other calls)
CAT 07:
OA: 99.73
QA: 98.02
DI: 97.42
VA: 99.49
Calls: LACKI
Converts: only "I" 
My 2 cents about this thing called CAT:
Just give your best shot during GD/PI, u never know what interviewer might like about u & u convert ur call.
It happened with me as well. I was my worst interview and i converted this. On the other hand C was a dream GD & Interview & I was 100% sure that I will convert that but in the end...sour grapes 
Profile matters in case of A,B,C but just because you did not make your profile,will u not fight hard for survival? That is what I did and would suggest you people out there to do the same and u know never know what CAT has in store for you.......:angel:
Cheers....!!

B.Tech M.Tech IIT KGP biotech
GPA 8.46
extracads-
decent positions of responsibility
dramatics
technical events
CAT 99.84
BLACKI
Converted all except B
i think more than the profile the picture u present in front of the interviewers and the impression u create are important.. there is only so far a profile can take u.. u have to work hard..
hence ppl who think that they do not have great profiles- do'nt worry!!!

Profile:
10th: 89.6 (CBSE)
12th: 85.2 (CBSE)
Graduation: B.E. in Electronics and Communication, 73.68%
had 5 months of work experience till December 31st, 2008
Cat Performance:
QA: 99.88
DI: 99.93
VA: 99.79
OA: 100
Calls: BLACKI
GDPI :
IIM I: Good case analysis (8/10), Awesome GD (9/10), Horrible interview (3/10)
The professors grilled me on GK and i was very disheartened by the whole experience.
Expectation: Reject, Waitlist at best
Verdict: Convert I guess my good score and great GD saved the day
IIM K: Average GD (fish market) (6/10), better than average interview (7/10)
Expectation: I knew that the professors liked me in the interview.. although i didn't answer all their questions, a good rapport was built.. I was expecting to get through
Verdict:
IIM B: Good GD (8.5/10), Average summary (6/10), Good interview (8/10)
One of the professors was grilling everyone in the interviews... but i guess he let me speak because of my good GD performance 
Expectation: I know I was one of the last few people to get that Bangalore call.. Had they issued 100 less calls, I would not have been called. And my profile is pretty normal compared to the guys who get through IIM-B.. Was expecting a reject.. But i knew that the interviewers liked me.. was hoping i could make it to the waitlist
Verdict: Waitlisted at 30 - I expect it to convert ... To be very honest, this result gave me a lot of satisfaction!! ---> Converted
IIM L: Average essay (6/10), Awesome GD (9/10), Peaceful/good interview (8.5/10)
After just 6 minutes of being interviewed, the professor had said "Thank you Sidharth.. you have a good future"
Expectation: easy convert
Verdict:
IIM A: Great essay (8/10), no idea about the interview (????/10)
the prof argued with me on everything. I held my own. Didn't let it get to my head...
Expectation: Was expecting a reject since i had come out with a bad feeling but i thought i could make it to the waitlist with some luck..
Verdict: Rejected ... But when you are as happy as i am, you don't care
IIM C: Good GD (7/10), Decent PGDM PI (7-7.5/10), Decent PGDCM PI (7-7.5/10)
This was my most favored call... I would have left any institute for IIM C..
Expectation: I was hopeful of making it through in both courses.. But kept analyzing it again and again and finding flaws in my answers.. so.. was just hoping for the best
Verdict: Both calls converted!!!!!!!!!!!
Also had a call from XLRI at 99.85 %ile.. attended only the BM interview.. was average i would say.. 6.5/10.. Wasn't expecting much (didn't think it was XLRI worthy!!).. Got waitlisted at 54 ---> turned out to be good enough 
So basically, I am going to spending my next 2 years loving life at Joka, my dream destination... can't tell you puys how happy i am.. but i am sure you all understand
