99 percentile and above - still no calls

[sriks8]

Can people pls post their percentiles and splits having missed calls(A,B,C,L,K - as of now) with 99+ percentiles?

It's appalling to hear that IIMs are not calling people with such terrific percentiles. Wondering what more does it take from now on to get calls ?????

[mikin]

I totally agree with u, infact i guess that this is a major flaw in the system.. IN the name of secrecy we are not told what all accounts for the call, but as far as I know the IIMs have only the info on percentiles, our acads and work-ex and am posting the comparitive scores of mine and my friend and he has a call from B, but not me... Further how do u justify ppl with 100 percentile not getting a call from B

my percentiles:- overall - 99.7, DI- 99.74, Quant-99.2 and Verbal-93.25
My friend :- overall - 97.7, DI- 95.xx, Quant-98.xx and Verbal-85.xx

Both are graduates from IIT Roorkee, graduated in May 2004.
Working in the same company, having joined the company on the same date(so same amount of work-ex).

Acads:-

Mine . eng CGPA- 8 on a 10 point scale, 10th 81.43 , 12th - 76.5
my friends eng CGPA- 7.9 on a 10 point scale, 10th 83 , 12th -81

Any justification for why I dont have a call..

Also a guy in my company has only one call from K inspite of 99.7 overall..

Hi

This is me. I got 99.5+. To be precise, 99.76. But no calls. But I cant blame the IIMs. I got 76 in DI

verbal i had 99.96 and quant 98.37, and overall, like i mentioned above.

But then, hard luck i guess...

Cheers (tho' i really don't feel like sayin that rite now )

P.S: Fellow sufferers, let's form something like the 'I got so far, but in the end, it doesn't even matter' club (with due apologies to Linkin Park, of course) Well, even if we don't form such a club, do tell me your stories too... (and tell me I ain't alone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

All the poor soles in this category .... my sympathies ...
whats more important .. u gave ur shot ...u have got what it takes to get in . but u didnt. doesnt matter u did a hell of a job.
whatever went wrong was not from ur side for sure..


me with 97.87 was hoping for a call

but seeing this thread .. i must say i will be extremly lucky if Indore ( only hope left ) calls me

hi buddies,
U r not alone. Even I am a part of this club

Hey Mikin, ur case is really baffling. u've posted everything except 10 th, 12 th pecentages. Tht's the only thing tht remains. Plz find ur friend's 10 th/12 th marks and post along with urs. We have to find SOME pattern yaar. It can't be so arbit.

Ok, so my poshish is just like the guy before 97.xx percentile overall, did expect only around 88 percentile in QA but my VA score if not bad in itself did not bail me out of the QA fiasco, as it usually does.
I was quite devastated that I didnt get B especially (got no calls at all, so far) but this thread is putting me at my place.
You guys are really great, that you got 99 percentile. Lets hope I has the sense to rope you all in and at a very miraculous instance, me also

Hi Ajay,
I have already posted mour 10th , 12th percentages too and that guy is my room mate so i know all these details are true.. but still am shocked by this... check out that post again for 10th, 12th too...

waise i am posting it again..
mine 10th - 81.43, 12th - 76.5
my friends' 10th - 83, 12th - 81..
though a difference, but not much that can compensate for 2 percentiles....

Do get back to me yaar...


Regards,

this funda abt not selecting ppl based on their 10th and 12th marks is too far-fetched even for IIM's standards of craziness

[tdubey]

I think accuracy has played a part this year ... at least, IIMB seems to have considered it.

Hi...

Pls do tell us ur split-up...

Let me welcome u as the first member of this glorious club of ours. I suggest we start by framing our CAT scores and placing it in our living rooms. When people come along, we could spin them a yarn about how we thought the IIMs weren't worth it anyway (though i can't think of any1 fallin for tat - but worth a try nonetheless). Membership dues can be sent to yours truly.

I suggest that you hide the membership card though. This club is likely to be one of those clubs - notable forerunners include the Quakers in the South of the USA during the early 1800s, the Mormons in Utah and the Klu Klux Klan.

Ciao
