hi prof.loser

if u go through all the posts mentioned on this thread, i am sure that u will get a very clear picture of ur chances.
anyways i wud still summarise the entire story.

unlike other b-schools admission at great lakes is not focused on aptitutde alone, it is based upon ur overall profiel, probably that i y almost all the guys get an interview call.

if u have a good educational background , i mean decent score in ur acads, good extra curriulars , work ex. etc etc u can make it in.

and at the end of the day it is the interview table where u make it or break it, and as u say that u r confident abt the interview, i think u have a very good chance, don't feel lost out, go ahead and apply, i am sure to find u as a class-mate come friend og mine for the batch of 2006 - 2007

Hi Prof.loser

Few things...

1 . Change yur name...the name suggests quite a few things...
2. Every good scool wud have lots of people above 90 percentile...bt dont think they are the best..Be confident abt yurself
3. Great Lakes judge a candidate on diff factors - Scores,Past Profile,work Ex,Essays,Reccos,GD,Interview..work on them...
4. Try your best and if yu succeed great...else there are better things waiting for yu..

All the very best

hi Kheone

I have tried to answere ur querries in different points, let me know if i miss out on something

Q )do i stand a chance wid dis kind of CAT scr or i shud apply for great lakes' test.

i good score in cat definitely increases ur chances but doesn't guarantee.
so if u thik u can do better in GET u shld definitely give GET, so its a call that u will alone have to take.

q)being a one yr course do dey prefer experience lot.

Experience i desired but not mandatory, if u go through the website, its mentioed that they have certain no of seats for freshers too so proove ur self.

q) also guys getting good packages already had a decent work exp. how much a fresher gets

again this question is about self assesment, freshers have also bagged a 7.5 lacs package. so deifintely u too can get a good pay package.
i am not aware of the actualy figures as to how much a fresher gets,
may be the seniors can help u out on this

q) it is not a recognised course wid any indian university.does it affects its credibility

i feel a course has to be more importantly recognized by the corporates rather than the indian universitites.
there are 100's of mangement schools in inda whihc are AICTE approved but u know what.
and herer is this institute which has narayan murthy , Ratan Tata, godrej etc etc backing it. so u can draw ur own conclusions.

and just for ur information.
even ISB is not AICTE approved (somebody please correct me if i am wrong on this) . actually AICTE doesn't affiliate the 1yr courses, so great lakes is also not affiliated. as a matter of fact none of the 1yr courses in inda are approved by AICTE. plez do cross check this piece of information from some1 else too.
