Great Lakes Admission Queries

As for being really 'Matured Individuals', I do request you both to answer me 3 simple questions which both fns and manik have failed to answer.

1) What is the least score of your admitted candidates (in gmat and cat.. separately)
2) Could you post the list and profile of those students who attended the interview on Mar-10.
3) If you are in the adcom, please answer me this. Y have you withheld the waiting list. Is it because you have reserved the seats for some last minute recommendations 'under pressure'. Y cant you make it public ? How many seats (or %) have you reserved for 'powerful recommendations'..

Now i believe a lot of PGs have problem understanding what I mean by 'powerful' (some have even pmmed me). I will explain.

Normal Recommendation :
You get recos from your immediate superior/one level above him (provided you have worked with him)/colleague/faculty in ur college (if workex is too low). In short the recommender should have known the person at a personal level enough to comment.

Powerful Recommendation :
You get a reco from a CEO (whom you have never met... nor even spoken to. But managed to get his push by friends-of-friends)/Leader in a political party (the worst kind... how could he differentiate btw a chimpanzee and Mckinsey - [excerpt frm uncle Bala]). If you claim that getting a reco from a CEO by working for 1-2 years in that firm is possible, then you must be really out of your mind.


There are other issues like Multiple Deadline Extension (from hereon let's name it the MDE phenomenon of GLIM), Mandatory Laptop purchase rule and the Refund amount of 10k for a payment of 6 lakhs.... I believe they have already been raised by a lot of other members in this topic. Still, none from glim has given a valid justification for em.

1. Gmat range of shortlisted ppl = 550-760
Cat range of shortlisted ppl = 85-99.96 pile
First list: avg Gmat/CAT/work ex = 670/95 pile/3 yrs

2. We cannot put up such profiles in any public forum or share such info with any individual as it would violate the privacy of the candidates who appeared for the interviews at Great Lakes. No institue shares such info in any case.

3. There is no compusion that the wait list has to be put on a public forum. We have individually informed candiates(which can be known from their posts in pg) who are on the waitluist and we see no need for sharing such information here.

Hope this clarifies the issue(s) once and for all. We would not entertain any other discussion in this regard as we feel enough clrification/information has been provided regarding these queries.

Regards,
FnS

Hi fns, I lost my hope when i didnt find my name in the list of selected students. So i decided to go back to my job. Suddenly i got a mail from GLIM that my name is in waitlist. But i dont know whats my rank in waitlisted students. Ny way , i want to know by when i will be confirmed , wheather i have been granted admission or not. One side i dont want to miss my chance to join this institute and on other side if i dont get then i dont want to waste my time. So plz, tell me what is the chances for getting call for admission and how many guys r listed in waiting.

Hi fns.
Thank you for ur assistance. I didnt logg into This forum since the declaration of the final list. So i was unaware of all the chaos going on this site. I dont want to comment regarding this but i could feel your annoyance. Its my request to you for not paying attention to these triffles because these are frustrations. A lot of other people are in contact with you through this site who need you help. So please be co operative to them.
will it be possible for you to tell me the no. of applicants who are in the waitlist?
thank you.
