GIM GD/PI Experiences (2006)

[voodoochile]

Hi people

With GD/PI starting today, a lot of you would want to know how the process was conducted this year. Hence it would be nice if people who have finished their process post their experiences here. I know that there is a results tread that exists, but i would request all of you to post your experiences ONLY here for the benefit of others. This would make life easier for all newcomers in the forum and also to students next year. (Anyone new can easily locate this tread and also students next year may access this tread without spending too much time on the search function)

All the best to everyone.......

[voodoochile]

Kindly refrain from posting on the GD/PI results tread from now on. Post ONLY on this tread.
It would be nice if people post all their other queries also ONLY on the this tread till the final results come out. Let this be a common centre for all queries and discussions regarding GIM till the final results come out.

hey
since everyone is asked to speak initially for 30secs and conclude also, i wanted to know whether there were points being repeated by ppl in the groups coz the last person might not have anything new to add. is it ok if points are repeated coz they may also be in your mind but someone else spoke it before you? will it go against the person if he does that (of course he cant go on doing it but this is regarding the opening statement and the conclusion...)

thanks
