Great Lakes Admissions 2009 - 26-08-2008, 01:14 AM

Hi All,

I am starting a new thread for Great Lakes Admissions 2009 - 2010. This will help streamline the admission queries to a single thread in the long run. I have spoken to the moderator 'rmbt' regarding this and he has given the go ahead. This thread will serve as a one stop shop for people wanting to apply through CAT as well as GMAT to Great Lakes.

Pour in your queries and I will be happy to answer them.

Hi twiceblessedman ,

1 . Can you please tell me the average GMAT score accepted at GLM ?
2 . Do GLM accept only current year GMAT scores ? - GMAT scores are valid for 5 years but some Indian Institutes accept only current year GMAT scores , Is it the case with GLM too ?

3 . How is the placement scene in Information Technology Management ?

We have given calls to people with CAT percentile around 90 but who had considerable work experience. We give profile based calls and CAT percentiles are just one of the many criteria for shortlisting candidates. Please let me know if you have any other queries.
